On 10 June 2020, the scholar James Nwoye Adichie died suddenly in Nigeria.

In 2020, history is being made every day. 

Australian bushfires. Civil unrest in Hong Kong. A pandemic that took precious lives and changed the way we live. Protests in every corner of America — and around the world — to demand that Black Lives Matter. But in the midst of these extraordinary events, everyday life still continues.

We share moments, music, and meals.

We dance. We laugh. We cry.

We love. We fear. We hope.

What if we captured all of it in a single day? On Saturday, July 25, 2020, film your day and upload your footage and you may become part of a historic documentary – a time capsule of the year 2020. 

Anyone can participate and submissions from all over the world will be woven together to create a feature film, produced by Ridley Scott, directed by Kevin Macdonald, filmed by you, and premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Submissions open on July 25th and close on August 2nd.

Let’s write the story of 2020 together.
