This Earth Day, See The Whole World In One Film

One Day on Earth - Global Screening Trailer from One Day on Earth on Vimeo.

Imagine yourself flying above the earth, seeing every continent spread out below you. Imagine all the people that must be living their daily lives. Working, loving, dancing, grieving—all on this orb. Now imagine that you could see all that in one single movie.

This was the dream of Kyle Ruddic and Brandon Litman. In 2010, the friends ambitiously set out to capture footage from every country in the world, all filmed on a single day. To do this, they partnered with over 95 UN country offices—as well as several nonprofits—to distribute video cameras around the globe. On October 10, 2010, people turned on their camera phones, set up their tripods and filmed the world as it passed before their eyes. The result was some 3,000 hours of footage, filmed by over 19,000 filmmakers.

After years of hard work (and a whole lot of editing!), One Day on Earth is finally done. The feature-length movie includes clips from every country in the world, including clips of environmental devastation, scenes of a Mongolian woman giving birth, and dozens of smaller moments, from a violinist practicing to skydivers falling through the air. It is in turns inspiring, upsetting, and illuminating. Judging by the fascinating trailer, Ruddic and Litman achieved their lofty goal: They created a movie that is truly all-encompassing.

And they want you to see it. On April 22, One Day on Earth will be screening for free in more than 160 countries. Want to catch a glimpse of the varied and wonderful world we live in? Check out the full list of screening locations to find an event near you.

Watch the trailer and let us know what you think of One Day on Earth!
