I saw the 1,000 Journals documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival in 2008. Here is the trailer. I highly recommend watching this film; it documents a true community, crowdsourced art project with inspiring results and great stories. This project seeks the creativity in all of us. Leverages the Internet in fascinating ways as well, www.1000journals.com

From the artist: 1000 blank journals are passed from hand to hand throughout the world, collecting stories, pictures, collages - slices of the lives they touch. One came back, filled. Where are the other 999? 1000 Journals investigates their worldwide journeys, and chronicles the self-governed collaboration of thousands of random people who added to this global “message in a bottle.”
