Agent of Happiness

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 7:00pm

Agent of Happiness offers a first-person glimpse into the Kingdom of Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness index through the eyes of Amber, a government data collector. Dressed in a striking red gho, Amber, along with his colleague, administers a 148-question survey that guides national policymaking, asking everything from practical questions about livestock to more intimate probes into emotional states. Underneath the film’s gentle humanist (and at times humorous) lens, darker existential themes emerge.
