From
 the 
Academy 
Award® 
nominated
 director
 Roko
 Belic 
comes 
a
 new
 cinematic 
adventure.
 More about this wonderful movie!

HAPPY 
is 
a 
feature‐length
 documentary 
that
 leads
 viewers
 on 
a
 journey
 across
 5 
continents
 in
 search
 of 
the 
keys 
to 
happiness. 
The
 film
 addresses 
many 
of 
the
 fundamental
 issues
 we
 face
 in today’s
 society: 
how
 do 
we 
balance
 the 
allure
 of 
money, 
fame and 
social
 status 
with
 our 
needs 
for 
strong
 relationships, 
health
 and
personal 
fulfillment?


Through
 remarkable
 human 
stories 
and 
cutting‐edge
 science,
 HAPPY 
leads 
us 
toward
 a
 deeper
 understanding 
of
 why
 and 
how 
we
 can
 pursue 
more 
fulfilling, 
healthier
 and 
happier
 lives.


HAPPY 
takes
 the
 viewer 
from
 the 
bayous
 of 
Louisiana
 to 
the 
deserts 
of 
Namibia, 
from 
the
 beaches
 of 
Brazil 
to 
the 
mountains
 of 
Bhutan.  
Listen
 to 
the
 wisdom
 of 
a 
Kolkata 
rickshaw 
driver,
 the 
compassion
 of 
a 
volunteer 
at 
Mother
 Teresa’s
 Home
 for 
the
 Dying
 and 
the
 knowledge
 of
 some 
of 
the
 world’s 
leading 
happiness 
researchers.  
Witness 
as 
middle
 school
 students
 applaud
 the
 bravery
 of 
their 
classmates 
during
 a 
moving 
presentation 
on 
bullying.


HAPPY 
combines
 real‐life
 human
 drama
 and 
cutting‐edge
 science 
to
 provide
 insights 
into 
the
 mysteries o
f happiness.
