Synopsis

What were you doing on 24 July 2010? Don’t remember? Well, thousands of people do because they were filming their lives and submitting the results to Kevin MacDonald via YouTube. He and his team then pieced together hundreds of moments to create this fascinating snapshot of life on earth in the early 21st century. There’s not much that would make the news, but there’s a lot that’s touching or just brings out the nosey parker in us all. And the production team have done an incredible job to make it look like a proper - and often beautiful – very watchable movie.

Kevin Macdonald
