Mission: Joy - Finding Happiness in Troubled Times

Two icons of world religion and the struggle for freedom meet for the first time after many years apart to discuss the search for joy in today's complicated world. The Dalai Lama, a Buddhist and the spiritual leader of Tibet, and Desmond Tutu, a South African archbishop and fighter against apartheid, are long-standing friends who tackle wickedness with a wicked sense of humor. The film reconstructs their lives and the political events that shaped them as political and spiritual leaders. In this unique footage of their conversation, they lead a mission in search for joy, finding support along the way from the findings of modern scientists' and the ideas of literary figures.
