第十四世達賴喇嘛 ╳ 榮譽大主教屠圖
兩位諾貝爾和平獎得主解答一個永恆的問題
奧斯卡最佳紀錄片導演路易賽侯尤斯最新力作

2015年，兩位諾貝爾和平獎得主：南非榮譽大主教戴斯蒙屠圖（Archbishop Desmond Tutu）、西藏第十四世達賴喇嘛（His Holiness the Dalai Lama），在印度達蘭薩拉相聚五天共敘友誼，並攜手回答來自全球關於喜悅的提問。兩人同樣歷經苦難與暴行，卻始終堅守非暴力、慈悲為懷。他們以切身感悟，和世人分享生命的喜悅之源。這場世紀對談不但處處閃耀智慧的光芒，兩人不時手牽手、互相逗弄，更讓觀眾見證一段不朽的傳奇友誼。

Deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Mission: JOY is a documentary with unprecedented access to the unlikely friendship of two international icons who transcend religion: His Holiness the Dalai Lama & Archbishop Tutu. In their ?nal joint mission, these self-described mischievous brothers give a master class in how to create joy in a world that was never easy for them. They offer neuroscience-backed wisdom to help each of us live with more joy, despite circumstances.
Inspired by New York Times bestseller The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World, the ?lm showcases the exchange between these two Nobel Peace Prize winners that led to that book.
Consisting largely of never before seen footage shot over 5 days at the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, the ?lm invites viewers to join these luminaries behind the scenes as they recount stories from their lives, each having lived through periods of incredible diffculty and strife.
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.
