Recherche dans la collection - Bhutan: The pursuit of Gross National Happiness

From The Green Interview website: Bhutan & Gross National Happiness This half-hour film began as a 2009 interview with the Honourable Jigme Yoser Thinley, the first elected Prime Minister of Bhutan, whose government aimed to entrench and extend Bhutan's long-standing goal of expanding Gross National Happiness rather than Gross National Product. [...] To put the interview in context, we prepared this original half-hour documentary film, using footage of Bhutan shot by Silver Donald Cameron and by Nova Scotia film-maker Kent Martin. For the film, we re-interviewed Dr. Ronald Colman, who had earlier spoken to us about his work on a Genuine Progress Index for Nova Scotia, Canada. [...] The work in Nova Scotia had led to Dr. Colman's appointment as an adviser to the Royal Government of Bhutan on how to implement and measure Gross National Happiness [...]."
