This is a wonderful website whose purpose is best described, I think, in its
About section: "The Global Lives Project is a volunteer-based creative collaboration
focused on the cultivation of empathy across cultures. We curate an
ever-expanding collection of films that faithfully capture 24 continuous
hours in the life of individuals from around the world." For example, I just watched a short film that followed a young girl in Beirut, Lebanon, in 2009. There is no narration, only the conversation of the girl and those with whom she interacts, and her answers to questions put to her by an interviewer. The camera follows her seemingly at her height so we see what she sees. Some of the other subjects are from Indonesia, China, Brazil, USA, India, and Serbia:
