What the filmmakers say about the film:

The film’s premise is: if we offer these evidence-based approaches to people experiencing struggle, what difference would it make? Is happiness a learnable skill and can we teach people skills to live a happy, healthy and meaningful life?

The world of psychology has for far too long studied what goes wrong with the human mind. While these have led to important understandings about our deficits and disorders, there is also another side of these sciences. The science of what is right about us and what thoughts, actions, and behaviours we can all learn that make life worth living.

The result is an intimate, heartfelt and hopeful film that offers a rare glimpse into the lives of 7 people who make incredible transforms as a result of learning how to thrive.

If you have capacity please consider donating to the impact campaign which will allow us to continue to run screenings & offer resources to communities that need it.
