Our trip to Bhutan in 2008
unfolded in ways that I could never have imagined. In short, we’ve been on a
journey to discover what wellbeing looks like internationally and here in the
United States.
After sharing our initial
30-minute film at several film festivals globally, we were invited to interview
world leaders at the United Nations in 2012, to join a panel at the Danish/Bhutanese
film festival in 2014, and to interview thought leaders at the World Happiness
Summit in Miami in 2017.
Our trip to Denmark in 2014
allowed facilitated an ongoing collaboration with Danish filmmaker, Hans
Wessing, and Bhutanese filmmaker, Phuntsok Rabten. Together, we are embarking on
a follow-up trip to Bhutan this summer of 2017.
Returning to Bhutan after
eight years, we’re looking forward to exploring how the gross national
happiness (GNH) dimensions are realized in Bhutan’s commitment to the
environment, to education, to health and to good governance. During our
journey, we will also explore well-being in Thailand and Iceland as a
comparison to Bhutan’s view.
