The International Buddhist Progress Society (IBPS) of Manila
will host a free public screening of One Day on Earth at the Five
Contemplations Hall of the Mabuhay Temple on 11 June 2012 at 7:30 pm. Mabuhay
Temple is located at 656 Pablo Ocampo St., Malate, Manila.
One Day on Earth is a full-length documentary feature that
holds the distinction of being the first film ever to include footage from
every country on earth, all captured on a single day - 10 October 2010. The film provides a unique
look into a wide array of human activities and even offers intimate access to
rarely seen images from countries such as North Korea, Iran and Kosovo.
One Day on Earth |
The film was able to beautifully capture the
interconnectedness of human beings by showing the shared triumphs and
challenges of all people on earth. The film's director and founder Kyle Ruddick
and co-founder and executive producer Brandon Litman, with the support of the
United Nations and a global community of filmmakers, has succeeded in creating
a video time capsule of one day on planet earth, making the documentary a great
achievement, not only in film making, but also in human cooperation.
IBPS is honored that Mabuhay Temple was selected as one of
the few venues to screen One Day on Earth in the Philippines. IBPS is an
organization affiliated with the Fo Guang Shan (FGS) Buddhist order based in
Taiwan with Mabuhay Temple being its branch temple in Manila. Other FGS branch
temples in the Philippines are located in Cebu, Bacolod and Iloilo. Apart from
regular Buddhist prayer services, Mabuhay Temple regularly holds other
activities such as lectures, open mic events, film screenings, temple tours,
study groups and short educational programs.
