An historic global event is set for May 10. Six major cities — Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai and Rio De Janeiro — will host a live program of films, music, and inspiring speakers. Broadcast in seven languages to millions of people around the world via internet, television and mobile phones, Pangea Day seeks to bring the world together through the power of film, in an effort to emphasize what we all have in common.

One accompanying effort that caught my eye (and ear) in particular, is their anthem series where “leading film-makers are seeking to change the way we think about other countries” by having a country’s national anthem being sung by another country.

So, in a humble gesture to offer my best wishes for Vaisakhi to those in the Sikh and South Asian communities, below is one such anthem where Kenya sings for India. The clip is set against the backdrops of Nairobi city and Uhuru Park, where a Kenyan choir sings the Indian national anthem. Directed by Bob Nyanja, he chose the Indian anthem, in part, because Kenya is home to a sizeable Hindu population (including Sikhs & Jains as well) of about 2.5 million.

Special guests taking part in Pangea Day include Queen Noor of Jordan, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, musician/activist Bob Geldof, and Iranian rock group Hypernova. The event will feature twenty-four short films, after having been selected from more than 2,500 submissions from over 100 countries.

As the official Pangea web site so eloquently says: “Movies can’t change the world. But the people who watch them can.”
