Bhutan: The Dictatorship of Happiness

Nestled at the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, the Bhutanese Kingdom is a small haven cut off from the rest of the world. It is renowned for its unique approach to happiness and its breathtaking natural beauty. In Bhutan, the focus is not on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but on Gross National Happiness (GNH) - an astonishing concept enshrined in the country's constitution. This philosophy emphasizes the preservation of cultural traditions, organic agriculture, and a sense of pride in being a Bhutanese citizen. Director: Alexandre Spailakovitch and Julien Boluen
