Deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Mission: JOY is a documentary with unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international icons who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama and 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.

Directed by Academy Award winning Louis Psihoyos (The Cove) and Peggy Callahan (filmmaker who heads the anti- slavery organization, Voices4Freedom), the film was shot primarily over 5 days at the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala.

Happy holidays!
