In 2010 footage was shot in every country of the world and condensed into an hour long film called "One Day on Earth". This unique film will be screened on Earth day, Sunday April 22nd only - in every country - including Belize. It will be screened in 6 venues in three districts- Orange Walk, Cayo, and Belize.
The film illustrates an interconnected world, and Suzette Zayden dropped by to tell us more about it.

"It's called "One day on earth." They ask us to participate. If we could help coordinate screenings in Belize for the film "One day on earth" - They were doing a global screening of a film that was done in 2010. In was shot on 10.10.10; October 10, 2010 and from about 3,000 hours of footage that they got, over 200 countries; all the countries that belong to the UN they've put together a 104 minute film. It goes very fast as you can imagine over 200 countries and only 104 minutes. In this film called "One day on earth" there is a piece on Belize that was contributed by Katia Paradis who lives in Cayo."
"The debut of the film global screening only on April 22 all over the world. We are not allowed screening on any other day. So we can screen indoors or outdoors at any hour or any time only on April 22. So what NICH has done is they've look for partners to help us get the film screen nationally. If you can imagine within 24 hours there birth, death, tragedy, hope, marriage, baptism, there is everything possible and it's all in the film."
They are partnering with Restore Belize, The Image Factory and the Houses of Culture in Benque, San Ignacio, Orange Walk and San Pedro along with Cayo Outdoor Theatre and San Pedro Town board. Admission is free, and everyone is encouraged to attend.
PROFILE
Tonight's profile is about John Woods. You may know him as the Chairman of the Kolbe Central Prison, or as the Boss at Cisco Construction - which is the contractor for the Kendall Bridge we showed you earlier, and many, many other works projects in Belize.
But you probably didn't know that the Texas born John Woods is a former US Army soldier who narrowly missed going off to war in Vietnam and went instead to serve in Panama - which made all the difference.
He tells us more in tonight's I am Belize Profile:..
