About the Movie

Mission: JOY – Finding Happiness in Troubled Times
Directors: Peggy Callahan, Louie Psihoyos
1 hour 28 minutes

Mission: JOY is a film that shares the humor and wisdom of two of the world’s most beloved icons, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
These two Nobel Peace Prize Laureates united for one final mission: to show the world how to live with JOY, even in troubled times.

And they know what they are talking about. They both lived through extreme hardship and continued to live with JOY despite their circumstances.

Our Cameras Captured Everything From This Historic Meeting

In what turned out to be their last time together, we trace the epic life stories of these Nobel Peace Prize winners as they faced oppression, exile, death threats, cancer, and more — unbowed and still laughing.

They are opposites in many ways, yet their friendship shows us that our shared humanity is bigger than our differences.

Their life stories remind us that JOY is an inside job, that JOY and pain are inseparable, and that deep connection is one of the secrets to JOY.
