On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world took part in a Life in a Day, a historic cinematic experiment to document a single day on earth. Over 80,000 clips (and more than 4500 hours of footage) were submitted, of which, Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald and a team of editors whittled down into a 90-minute documentary film that gives "an honest and inspiring glimpse of our world". In the clip below, Macdonald requests video clips from people around the globe.
I remember hearing about this a few days before the 24th and am super excited to check out the live broadcast from the 2011 Sundance Film Festival on January 27th (5pm PST). I love the concept of capturing a portrait of the world in a day. Check it out here!
