*Gakyed: One word for happiness and peace.*
Karen Darke MBE knows better than most about the highs and lows life can throw at us. Paralysed at just 21 in an accident, she turned her life into a success story, winning Gold in Rio in the 2016 Paralympics. Who better to go asking the question – What is Happiness and How do We Find It?
In Bhutan, they have a way of life based on the concept of Gross National Happiness. I joined paralympic Gold medal hand cyclist Karen Darke, on a journey to this magical kingdom, to find out what they do differently, and to see what lessons we could learn. This film recently premiered at the Dundee Mountain Film Festival (Nov 25th 2023)
