Pangea Day: The Tank Driver

Johannes Leonardo is launching the world’s first Pangea Day with a film called ‘The Tank Driver’. The film, which offers another perspective on the tragic events of Tiananmen Square, debuted at last week’s TED conference – an illustrious collection of the world’s best thinkers and doers. Pangea Day is a world peace initiative with the purpose of inspiring world peace through film. On May 10, 2008 the first ever Pangea Day will take place. Sites in Cairo, Dharam¬sala, Kigali, London, New York City, Ramallah, Rio de Janeiro, and Tel Aviv will be video conferenced live to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones. Pangea Day, a TED world peace initiative, was founded by visionary documentary filmmaker, Jehane Noujaim (‘Control Room’) in the hope of creating understand¬ing around the world through film.
