FILM: MISSION: JOY 

Academy Award®-winning director Louie Psihoyos teams up with co-director Peggy Callahan on MISSION: JOY – FINDING HAPPINESS IN TROUBLED TIMES, a documentary with unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international icons who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama & Archbishop Tutu. In their final joint mission, these self-described mischievous brothers give a master class in how to create joy in a world that was never easy for them. They offer neuroscience-backed wisdom to help each of us live with more joy, despite circumstances.

Followed by: POST-SCREENING CONNECTION

With genuine affection, mutual respect and a healthy dose of teasing, these two unlikely friends impart lessons gleaned from lived experience, ancient traditions, and the latest cutting-edge science regarding how to live with joy in the face of all of life’s challenges from the extraordinary to the mundane.

After the film, join your fellow seekers and the film's Impact Producer Jolene Smith for a movieclub-style discussion of Mission: Joy. What did you think of the film? What came up for you?
