HappinessThomas Balmès
In 1999, the King of Bhutan, who created the concept of 'Gross National Happiness', decided to allow television and internet into his kingdom. Director Thomas Balmes is there when an isolated village deep in the Himalayas is connected to the grid, allowing TV to reach them too. 8-year-old Peyangki is firmly convinced that the little box will make him happy. Happiness is a cinematic gem about cultural changes on a breathtaking location.
