Help animals across the world with Life in a Day tickets

RSPCA part of movie-making history

 

10.06.11

We're at the forefront of a new way for charities to raise vital funds by linking in with the ground-breaking new film, Life in a Day, directed by Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald and executive produced by Sir Ridley Scott (Alien, Bladerunner).

Shot on a single day (Saturday, 24 July 2010), the film captures user-generated footage from literally thousands of people around the world. More than 80,000 videos were submitted from 197 countries; from Australia to Zambia, Peru to the Ukraine, Japan to the UK.
 

Buy tickets and help animals worldwide

In an innovative move which mirrors the inclusive way the film was made, people can buy tickets and raise money for the RSPCA at the same time.
 
A whopping 25 per cent of each ticket sold online directly through our dedicated website - www.lifeinadayuk.me/rspca - will go towards our vital work for animal welfare.

Paul Littlefair, head of RSPCA external affairs, said:

The filmmakers were kind enough to approach the RSPCA and ask if we would like to be a part of this fantastic opportunity.

In the spirit of the film, which is about bringing people together from all over the world, the RSPCA will be using the funds raised specifically to help our international and farm animal welfare work.

Paul added:

We live in a changing world where increasingly and inextricably animal welfare and human welfare are linked.

By supporting this film, we can continue to help animals – and humans – all over the world.
