Mission: JOY is the moving and laugh-out-loud funny documentary about the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu’s friendship and their secrets of finding joy in troubled times.
With genuine affection, mutual respect and a healthy dose of teasing, these unlikely friends impart lessons gleaned from lived experience, ancient traditions, and the latest cutting-edge science regarding how to live with joy in the face of all of life's challenges from the extraordinary to the mundane. Mission: Joy is an antidote for the times.
The film was inspired by the international best selling Book of Joy by Doug Abrams, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.
The global icons and their message inspired four Academy Award winners and renowned creatives from every part of the process to join the production team.
