Intelsat, Ltd., a provider of commercial satellite services will supply the global satellite capacity for the contribution and broadcast distribution of Pangea Day, May 10th. Pangea Day is a global film event that attempts to bring the world together and promote understanding and compassion through film. The event was inspired by the 2006 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Prize wish of documentary filmmaker Jehane Noujaim who believes it is a celebration of what unites us, rather than what divides us. Movies can’t change the world, but the people who watch them can.
As the official satellite capacity sponsor, Intelsat will use its network of satellite and terrestrial facilities for collection and distribution of Pangea Day’s short films, inspirational talks and musical performances. The event will be coordinated live from six locations—Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro—and broadcast in seven languages. The content will then be transmitted to thousands of movie theatres and registered “Friends of Pangea Day” watch parties in more than 100 countries—Pembroke, Bermuda
