National Geographic Films acquired US rights to Life in a Day, the docu that paired Kevin Macdonald and Ridley Scott. Pic will be released by Nat Geo domestically in partnership with YouTube. The film is culled from footage gained by asking average people around the world to capture their lives on July 24, 2010. Some 80,000 submissions from 192 countries were culled down to the 90-minute documentary.


I’ve been dying, simply dying, to see this!!
I’m looking forward to seeing this. I hope the unused footage will be made available online, because it may help people to appriciate the problems faced by others on any given day. If it helps to debunk a few societal myths, so much the better. My personal favorite of these myths is the one of “free choice of ones condition’s in this life”. While true to a point, it miss’es much. Every time I hear some fool brag how his “choices” have made him a master of his own destiny, I see no example to copy,-only someone who never learned the meaning of the word CIRCUMSTANCE. That type of thinking going on in the year 2011 ? God help us.
