With her father’s recent passing and her new movie “What Happens in Vegas” hitting theaters on Friday (May 9), its been a busy month for Cameron Diaz.

But that didn’t keep the 35-year-old actress from taking part in Pangea Day - a star-laced broadcast from the Culver City movie studio where the “Wizard of Oz” was filmed.

During the first-ever global film festival, which seeks to replace conflict with understanding, “millions of people at venues around the world simultaneously watched a live four-hour broadcast of short independent films, some made by refugees using camera-enabled Nokia mobile telephones, showing life through their eyes.”

According to AP reports, Diaz said that her favorite was “an animated work featuring a bear of a man folding a gritty, congested city piece-by-piece origami-style into a forest oasis.”

“This is beautiful,” Diaz said of the event as a whole. “Films can’t change the world but the people who watch them can.”
