Description
The tiny kingdom of Bhutan is hidden away in the Himalayas and dwarfed by its giant neighbors, India and China. While the rest of the world pounds the treadmill of economic development, Bhutan has continued on its alternative path, pursuing the ultimate goal for its people: happiness. For centuries, its benevolent kings ignored technological advances, seeking to protect their people from outside influences. Then, overnight, 47 satellite stations began broadcasting in the country. The impact on the sheltered society has been profound. Following a surge in teenage violence, the government decided to ban all channels considered to be a dangerous influence on their peaceful way of life. This documentary examines Bhutan's quandary: Can the nation's mythical spiritual principles withstand this Western onslaught?
