Many know Bhutan as the last Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom and the only country in the world to use Gross National Happiness as its primary yardstick for progress. Drawn by the allure of this enigmatic kingdom, four veteran athletes attempt an unprecedented human-powered, border-to-border crossing of Bhutan, hoping to experience Bhutan's policy of "GNH" first hand. When the demands of the grueling 42-day, 485-mile journey push the team beyond their breaking point, they must confront the challenge inherent in walking what Buddhist's call the Middle Path - embracing the benefits of our fast-paced modern life while still honoring the ancient traditions and values that makes Bhutan so unique.

Amazing and revelatory
Beautiful and thought provoking journey through one of the world's last remaining Buddhist kingdoms.
A stunningly filmed and heart warming MUST SEE!
This film touched me so deeply. I was blown away by the beauty, wisdom, and insight that poured from this story. We're all on a journey to understand our own happiness more deeply and find out where it comes from, and what to do when it's gone. Bhutan is a mysterious place that has done an amazing job of preserving its ancient roots and what is truly important to them as a culture. The team represented the USA and the fast-paced, achievement-oriented nature we struggle to escape from - we all can relate to this. Watching this film has inspired me to slow down, breath and remember what is truly important in my life. It's so short! Why rush through it.
Perfect fit for PBS
Spectacular film by young Stanford film major. Stunning photograph done by the director himself. The driving forces propelling these young, bright, type A folks is right out there for us to observe. The central question..."how does one live happily?" The Bhutanese say personal contentment. Western religion says help others...not self.???
This film checks all the boxes
This beautiful film checks all the boxes: adventure, travel to an exotic location, physical challenges, drama, team work, conflict, stunning scenery/visuals, an up-close-and-personal glimpse into a unique culture, and most importantly, leaves the viewer asking some important questions about the West's frantic pace of life and what we could learn from the tiny Buddhist country of Bhutan.
