MUMBAI: Japanese broadcaster Fuji Television is joining forces with filmmaker and producer Ridley Scott to record and share a single day in the life of Japan.

Inspired by Kevin Macdonald?s Life in a Day, the project called ?Japan In A Day? is dedicated to those who lost their lives and those who are suffering as a result of the earthquake and tsunami.

Japan in a Day will look to offer a concentrated insight into the daily lives, hopes, fears and dreams of the Japanese people. 11 March, 2012 marks the first anniversary of the tragic Great East Japan Earthquake, the most powerful earthquake to have ever struck Japan. The earthquake caused immeasurable damage not only to the stricken areas, but to the nation as a whole.

In memory of this unforgettable day, Fuji Television is asked for contributions from anyone to record a video about their daily life on 11 March. Videos will be uploaded to a special YouTube "Japan in a Day" website. The best entries, judged by the filmmakers, will be selected from the submitted videos to complete an all-new original movie.

The resulting film will be a snapshot of Japan today, which will premiere in cinemas, and be screened internationally.

Additionally, Fuji TV will donate 200 cameras to those in the stricken areas. Footage gathered from these cameras as well as Fuji TV?s coverage of the day will also be submitted for selection. The movie will be premiered on the big screen, and Fuji TV plans to donate its profits to victims in the affected areas.
