Let’s face it, happiness seems pretty self explanatory. You smile, you laugh, maybe get a funny tickle in your stomach. That’s happiness, right? Well, my idea behind exploring this idea was really out of curiosity. I concluded that this was the one emotion everyone on earth wanted to feel. Whether you’re a Muslim, Christian, black, white, born into poverty or an heiress, there are no boundaries when it comes to happiness. We all want it. These ideas lead me to find two extraordinary people who have lost happiness completely. They have both felt the pain, the sorrow and the complete opposite of happiness. This documentary explores happiness from their point of view. From darkness into light. Not quite what you’d expect? Well, more reason for you to come see their journey for yourself. Maybe it will put a smile on your face, or remind you of how you’ve pushed through sadness and let happiness embrace you. Dadrian and I are both honored to share these stories with you…it was challenging, emotional, hilarious and incredibly fulfilling!
