New documentary questions: ‘Are you happy?’

More from this show

A filmmaker spent five years traveling to 30 countries asking this question: “Are you happy?”

The answers are now depicted in a documentary titled “Are You Happy?” The answers range from funny to profound, and they paint a candid snapshot of how people think about life in current times.

Atdhe Trepca, the creator of this documentary, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the reaction to this seemingly simple question and the story behind his idea and journey across the world.
