Global Lives Project
The Global Lives Project is an international collaboration of film-makers, who have produced 10 documentaries. Each documentary is 24 hours long - it captures a complete day in the life of the film subject.[1] These subjects were chosen to be demographically representative of the global population, so that they match the global distributions of rural vs. urban population, regional distribution, gender, income level, religion, and age.[2]
The Global Lives Project has been supported by the Black Rock Arts Foundation, the Long Now Foundation, the Adobe Foundation, the Burwen Education Foundation, the Consulate of Switzerland in San Francisco, and hundreds of individual donors.
The first full premiere of all 10 videos will occur at a museum in San Francisco in February 2010. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is hosting a four month exhibition[3][4] that will immerse the viewer in the daily life of people from across the world.
