What is Happiness?

About This Movie

So, this one, 'What is Happiness?', it’s a 2016 documentary that really dives into the essence of happiness through the eyes of locals in Malawi, known as 'The Warm Heart of Africa'. The tone is contemplative, almost meditative, as you see how people reflect on their lives without the usual trappings of modern consumerism. The pacing is slow, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the simple yet profound thoughts shared. There's something striking about the rawness of the performances – it feels genuine. It’s not flashy or overproduced, which actually adds to its charm. The film zeroes in on themes of community, connection, and what it really means to be happy, all while showcasing the vibrant landscape and culture. Definitely a unique piece in the realm of documentaries.
