Please join us on Saturday, October 17, at 3:00pm for a screening of "Agent of Happiness," alongside a conversation with Dr. Paola Sacchetti from the University of Hartford.Happiness Agent Amber Gurung embarks on a journey through the Himalayan mountains to survey the contentment of citizens from different households and lifestyles. While Amber dutifully administers this census, he, too is forced to confront his own struggles with fulfillment, and question what makes him happy. A “quiet, gently absorbing documentary” (The Guardian), AGENT OF HAPPINESS is a holistic exploration of Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness index, using “meaningful visual contrast to scrutinize Bhutan’s narrative about itself” (Variety).
Dr. Paola Sacchetti will lead a talk that delves into the role dopamine plays in our mental health and the ever-elusive search for happiness.
