Pangea Day

Saturday, May 10; 2:00 to 6:00 pm
FREE
Location: The Paley Center for Media, 25 West 52 Street, NYC

Come to the Paley Center on May 10 and take part in a global media event!

Pangea Day is an international event that will bring the world together through film.

In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that—to help people see themselves in others—through the power of film.

Live events in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers including Queen Noor of Jordan, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, musician/activist Bob Geldof, and Iranian rock phenom Hypernova. Pangea Day is a live broadcast—in seven languages—featuring powerful films, visionary speakers, and inspiring music that will reach millions of people worldwide through public and private gathering places through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.

The Paley Center for Media, in partnership with Acumen Fund, is proud to be a venue for Pangea Day. On Saturday, May 10 from 2:00 to 6:00 pm, we will present the entire Pangea Day broadcast live.

Don't miss this opportunity to gather together locally to connect with the international media community globally. Go to the Pangea Day website for more information about this initiative.

Acumen Fund is a nonprofit venture fund that seeks to prove that small amounts of philanthropic capital combined with large doses of business acumen can build thriving enterprises that serve vast numbers of the poor. Our investments focus on delivering affordable, critical goods and services—like health, water, housing, and energy—through innovative, market-oriented approaches. As a proud partner of TED, Acumen Fund is delighted to support Pangea Day as a powerful example of the interconnectedness among all people.
