Filmmakers Ridley Scott & Kevin MacDonald combined and edited more than 80,000 videos submitted from people in 192 countries to tell the story of what life was like in the world on July 24th, 2010.  The film is a delightful mixture of the day-to-day with momentous occasions in the lives of individuals.  It is so powerful to watch morning rituals, one after another, as we do them differently in different places.  We also get to share such occasions as a teenager learning to shave with his dad and a family working together with the struggles of cancer.  As in real life, it’s not always easy to watch, but  Life in a Day kept me glued to the screen with fascination as I laughed, cried, and delighted in a world where we know each other a little better.
