    Moving Film- Must See

    This film is very moving and the cinematography is amazing.. I could watch this film 10 times and see something different... a must see

    This film has me looking into flight prices!

    Such a Beautiful film - really well done. It's especially interesting considering that Bhutan limits the number of tourists each year. It's a big endeavor to go to Bhutan, and I feel I got so much of it through this documentary.

    Amazing and revelatory

    Beautiful and thought provoking journey through one of the world's last remaining Buddhist kingdoms.

    Visually Stunning!!!

    Beautifully crafted. Before watching this film, I knew very little about Bhutan and Gross National Happiness. Ben has created a visual masterpiece that not only follows the exciting journey of the athletes but also explores the concept of GNH and the values that make Bhutan such a special place.

    Perfect fit for PBS

    Spectacular film by young Stanford film major. Stunning photograph done by the director himself. The driving forces propelling these young, bright, type A folks is right out there for us to observe. The central question..."how does one live happily?" The Bhutanese say personal contentment. Western religion says help others...not self.???
