WHAT HAPPINESS IS

A film by Harald Friedl

 

The long isolated Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan wants to open up to the West without succumbing to materialism. Development is measured by GNH, Gross National Happiness.
In this unique project, civil servants from the Ministry of Happiness travel the country during eight long months, using a questionnaire to determine the country’s level of happiness.
 
A road movie to the most distant destination of all: Happiness.
