A Youtube, open, user-generated documentary......that you can join

Ever wondered how different is a single day for different people around the world?
Some are happy and some are sad, some are working and some are on holidays, some see the sea and some the mountains, some are eating and some are starving, some are born and some die exactly the same time of a single day on earth.

Could we see all this? Yes we could, if we employed open, user-generated innovation ! Then we would have (provided of course that everyone had access to technology and information):
"One World, 24 hours, 6 Billion Perspectives" says Ridley Scott.

YouTube is planning to orchestrate such a holistic user-generated experimental documentary called: "Life in A Day".
This will be a global experiment aiming to create a user-generated feature film, shot in a single day, by each and every one. Yes, you can be a star ! On the 24th of July, everyone has 24 hours to capture a fraction of his/her life on camera. This collective content of millions of user-generated videos will then be edited into a documentary that will be produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald and will be shown at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival in January.

This is your chance to be part of the 1st global experiment user-generated documentary !
