Wisdom of Happiness (2024) at Pllek (Amsterdam Noord, NDSM Wharf)

The world, today. After more than ninety years at the centre of global affairs, the Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) speaks directly to the viewer, as if you are having a personal conversation with the world’s most renowned ambassador of compassion. Drawing on never-before-seen archival footage, he looks back on his childhood in Tibet, his flight from the Chinese occupation and a life in exile, but above all, he shares his timeless wisdom on inner peace, mindfulness and building a happier world. In what may well be his final film appearance, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate shows that the capacity for happiness lies not outside us, but within. This remarkable documentary was produced under the guidance of Richard Gere and Oren Moverman.

Genre: Documentary
