Amber, a happiness agent, travels across the Bhutanese Himalayas to research people's happiness. During the remote mountain journey he seeks contentment.. I'm not sure if this should be called "Agent of Contentedness" instead? Not content like when you barely have enough, but like truly content with your lot in life. That's what Amber tries to find out as she travels the breadth of this small Himalayan kingdom, twice a year, trying to find out what its citizens think about things. Using a combination of tools, it talks to old and new residents, urban and rural, traditional and more modern - all with a view to finding out how the population feels and feeding that back to a government that wants to listen and learn about those attitudes to help people stay in a good place - mentally and physically. This documentary introduces us to a range of people whose aspirations vary widely - sometimes by age, ability, location, education/professional ability - but mostly you're left with the sense that they appreciate their surroundings. Although their livelihood may be seen by the West as more basic, agrarian, undeveloped; their own perception of their existence high in the mountains with beautiful scenery, fresh air and the blessings of their gods upon them seems to offer that elusive feeling that less is more and satisfaction. Obviously, not everyone is wildly happy, but there is a distinct lack of "screaming" for a change as respect for the king and the status quo seems to permeate all demographics screaming it ain't broke so don't fix it. There are quite a few characters here, some funnier and a few downright mean, and Amber sometimes has her work cut out for her trying to get meaningful answers to her questions so she can usefully extrapolate the data. In a society that hasn't really evolved technologically, it still seems to give everyone access to the internet and has a proud tradition of educating everyone to enable them to make decisions - and yet they still, by and large , feel this magic word. Happy. Looks like owning cows helps too!
