"Happiness" aka "The Himalayan Boy and the TV Set"


If you enjoyed Phörpa (The Cup) then the 2013 documentary Happiness deals with a similar topic.

A 9 year old Bhutanese novice monk is desperate to get to the city and see the TVs that have recently been permitted in his country.

It was shown on the BBC as part of the Storyville documentary series where it was titled The Himalayan Boy and the TV Set.
