six billion others...

Posted by: Greg Smith | 13 July 2007

6billionothers.org is an ambitious project aiming to create a sensitive and human portrait of the planet's inhabitants by revealing each person's universality and individuality.

Six different directors are currently globe-trotting to interview about 6,000 people from 65 different countries. Questions chosen deal with topics such as; experiences, what makes us laugh or cry, family, what gives life meaning, etc. These films are then uploaded as testimonials - there are a number there (see above) so you can get the gist.

It's sort of like Google Earth but with people/humanity displayed in a u-tube format. In 2008 the site will be opened up for anyone to add user generated content to create a true global community.

Brilliant!
