Mission: Joy – Finding Happiness in Troubled Times (90 min; 2021)
A film by Louie Psihoyos & Peggy Callahan

The film gives unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international Nobel Peace Prize laureates and global leaders who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Featuring never-before-seen footage shot over 5 days at the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, the film invites viewers to join these luminaries as they share their hard-won wisdom about a wide range of issues from love, karma, guilt, and forgiveness, to joy, faith, meditation, and reincarnation. Offering neuroscience-backed wisdom to help each of us live with more joy under any circumstance, the film is an antidote for our times
