    Awe and appreciation for this film

    Friends of the Internet, you have to see this film! Your happiness depends on it!!

    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.

    This film checks all the boxes

    This beautiful film checks all the boxes: adventure, travel to an exotic location, physical challenges, drama, team work, conflict, stunning scenery/visuals, an up-close-and-personal glimpse into a unique culture, and most importantly, leaves the viewer asking some important questions about the West's frantic pace of life and what we could learn from the tiny Buddhist country of Bhutan.

    Fantastic movie-going experience

    This film has it all! I was moved by its beauty, inspired by its message, and deeply impacted by the crew's journey through Bhutan. Can't recommend it more highly!
