HAPPY is a feature length, non-profit documentary that takes us on a worldwide adventure, exploring the power and mystery of human happiness.
The film deals with 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 good relationships, health and a sense of fulfillment?
In addition to hearing from the leading neuroscientists and psychologists researching happiness, HAPPY explores personal stories from around the world. Can Manoj Singh, a rickshaw puller from the slums of Kolkata, India, who lives in a hut made of plastic bags be just as happy as the average American? What about Melissa Moody, the beautiful mother of three who had a “perfect life” until the day she was run over by a truck?
Through these and other remarkable stories, HAPPY leads us towards a deeper understanding of why and how we can pursue more fulfilling, healthier and happier lives.
