A documentary shot by film-makers all over the world that serves as a time capsule to show future generations what it was like to be alive on the twenty-fourth of July, 2010.
What do you get when you ask the people of the world to chronicle a single day in their lives? You get 80,000 submissions, 4500 hours of footage, from 192 countries. Kevin Macdonald has taken this raw material, all shot on July 24, 2010, and created a 90-minute paean to what it means to be human in the world today.—Anonymous
Filmed on the 24th of July 2010, and produced in partnership with YouTube and distributed by National Geographic Films, director Kevin Macdonald's "Life in a Day" is a vibrant snapshot of our world on a single day. Composed solely of videos shot by volunteers and amateur filmmakers, the result is a documentary offering a seamless symphony of daily rituals, and an amalgamation of emotions and intimate moments as seen from different perspectives.—Nick Riganas
