Pangea was the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago when all the continents we know today were joined together. 

Today is Pangea day. Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Cities around the world are running a live programme of films, music and visionary speakers all about uniting people to build a better future.

Check out the Pangea Day website to find out more and watch the 24 winning films of the international competition to find the best ones that inspire, transform, and allow us see the world through another person’s eyes.

Over 20,000 people killed already. Death toll rising, 40,000 missing, 1.5 million people affected.
