# Global Peace Movements Pangea Day By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-04-06 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-peace-movements-pangea-day References: [pangeaday.org](http://www.pangeaday.org/index.php) Pangea Day is a global coming together movement where professional and amateur filmmakers submit their own short films. "Why? 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." says the Pangea Day website. The criteria is that the films be thought provoking, inspiring, and share personal experiences with other people you know nothing about and will probably never meet. Pangea Day will take place on May 10th and the driving thought behind it is that images offered by mass media are controlled by vested interests and not by the common person. The video is an entry that was aptly described in YouTube thus: "Inside every tank there is a human being." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [World News](https://www.trendhunter.com/worldnews) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Global Peace Movements:** Discover disruptive innovation opportunities in promoting peace and unity through global initiatives like Pangea Day. - **Filmmaker-driven Short Films:** Explore the potential for disruptive innovation in the film industry by empowering amateur and professional filmmakers alike. - **Overcoming Media Control:** Identify opportunities for disruptive innovation in challenging the control of mass media and giving voice to individual perspectives. ### Who This Affects Most - **Film Production:** Examine disruptive innovation opportunities in film production by supporting and showcasing thought-provoking short films. - **Media and Entertainment:** Discover disruptive innovation opportunities in media and entertainment by promoting alternative narratives and perspectives. - **Global Events and Festivals:** Explore the potential for disruptive innovation in organizing global events and festivals that promote unity and cross-cultural understanding. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Environmental Film Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-films.md) - [Arctic Portal Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arctic-portal.md) - [Creative Protest Archives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-protests.md) - [Africa-Wide Gaming Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pan-africa-gaming-group.md) - [Peace-Resembling Dress Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-dress.md) - [Multimedia Art Productions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/if-not-now.md) - [Play-Inspired Global Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-day.md) - [World Hunger Day Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zimad-the-hunger-project.md) - [Play-Encouraging Intational Holidays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-of-play.md)
