the most beautiful day

One Day on Earth - Motion Picture Trailer from One Day On Earth on Vimeo.

A lot can happen in a day. While you sit comfortably on your couch a man dies, a baby is born, a hawk captures a mouse, and a turtle ventures into the sea for the first time. It's pretty amazing and overwhelming when you think about it. So amazing that it's hard to fathom what it would look like if you could have a front row seat to it all for just one day.

That is until One Day On Earth, along with 60 non-profits and the United Nations, worked together to capture film from over 3,000 people across the world showcasing what they saw on just one day. Just one day to bring to life the "amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occurs." The result is an absolutely stunning and eye-opening film of amazing moments in time across the globe as well as thousands of archived clips that made up the film.

Want to get involved? They'll be doing it again on 11/11/11 so you can sign up on their website to contribute film. And if you're not into creating film but want to show your support, you can help fund them on Kickstarter.
