Storyline

A feature-length documentary film that captures scenes from life in every country in the world and shot all in one day on 10 October 2010 was screened in 160 countries on Earth Day, April 22, 2012. Theatres were filled to capacity from Nepal to Kosovo and Turkmenistan to the famed Mann Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark and other officials attended the full house New York premiere at the 1,800-seat capacity UN General Assembly.

Screenings were held around the world, in places such as the main square of the French Institute in Kabul and in Sierra Leone’s only cinema, which was also filled to capacity.

The film was created with an international community of filmmakers and with funders including The Ford Foundation’s JustFilms Initiative. UNDP offices in more than 95 countries participated in and contributed to the filming of this documentary with footage highlighting issues such as women’s empowerment, sustainable development, cultural diversity and people working together to solve pressing challenges.

UNDP has extended its support to the project through 2015. Since the screening, the filmmakers Kyle Ruddick (founder/director) and Brandon Litman, (co-founder/executive producer), say they have received requests for additional screenings worldwide. The film will continue to be available for US audiences through Tugg.com, an online platform that enables people to bring the films they want to their local theatres.
