SUMMARY:Winter Film Series: Agent of Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Join us on second Sundays from January through May for our 
 Winter Film Series. Each month we will screen a different film or 
 documentary chosen by a librarian. After each screening\, stay for 
 discussion where we’ll explore the film’s themes\, context\, and 
 relevance. Whether you're a cinephile\, a curious mind\, or simply looking 
 for a cozy afternoon with good conversation\, all are welcome!\n\nThis 
 month we're screening: Agent of Happiness\n\nAgent of Happiness is a 2024 
 documentary film directed by Arun Bhattarai and Dorottya Zurbó. It follows 
 Bhutanese government officials\, Amber Kumar Gurung and Guna Raj Kuikel\, 
 as they travel through the country to measure people's happiness levels\, 
 which are then used to calculate the Gross National Happiness score.Along 
 the way we meet Bhutan's everyday people\, such as a transgender bar 
 singer\, a wealthy farmer and his three wives\, a teenage girl who worries 
 about her mother's alcoholism\, or a recent widower who finds solace in 
 religion. Through them we get a glimpse into the Bhutanese society and 
 their views on happiness in face of adversity. We also explore Amber's 
 dreams and ambitions\, primarily among them the dream of finding love.
