Ambitious. Inspiring. Difficult. World Changing. This is Jehane Noujaim's Pangea Day. As all of you know, I have a passion and belief that communication can change the world and that those of us lucky enough to work with words and images have a real responsibility to do just that. Jehane Noujaim and the TED community is taking a historic step in that direction. Two years ago, Jehane introduced the idea of a global day of film to the TED audience in the form of a TED Prize wish. On May 10 2008, Pangea Day will become a reality. On that day, a live four-hour program of films, speakers and music will be video-conferenced to New York, Dharamsala, Rio, Cairo, London, Jerusalem and Kigali.

I am extremely proud to be associated with a community that does this. And while I can't help with the money or the incredible amount of logistics involved in pulling this off, I can do my part by spreading the word and so can you.

For the next 24 hours, the Pangea Day video will be featured on YouTube's homepage. View it here, rate it, pass it on.

Note that I am not embedding the video here today. I will embed it tomorrow. Today please go to YouTube.com and view it there.
