Happy é um documentário de 2011 dirigido, escrito e co-produzido por Roko Belic. Ele explora a felicidade humana por meio de entrevistas com pessoas de todas as esferas da vida em 14 países diferentes, tecendo as mais novas descobertas da psicologia positiva. O diretor Roko Belic foi originalmente inspirado para criar o filme depois que o produtor/diretor Tom Shadyac mostrou a ele um artigo no New York Times intitulado "Uma Nova Medida de Bem-Estar de um Pequeno Reino Feliz" . O artigo classifica os Estados Unidos como o 23º país mais feliz do mundo. Shadyac então sugeriu que Belic fizesse um documentário sobre a felicidade. Belic passou vários anos entrevistando mais de 20 pessoas, desde os principais pesquisadores da felicidade a um motorista de riquixá em Kolkatta, uma família que vive em uma "comunidade de co-habitação" na Dinamarca, uma mulher que foi atropelada por um caminhão, um pescador cajun e mais.

Dawn Mikkelson’s Risking Light is a meditation on forgiveness, layered with a theme that is rarely seen on the screen—forgiving the unforgivable. Five years prior to making the film, Mikkelson met Mary Johnson and O’Shea Israel, a meeting she describes as a life-changing event that would lead to the development of Risking Light. It was then she learned that Johnson had chosen to forgive Israel for the murder of her son, which motivates the tone of humanistic mission in the film.

On 1500 metres above sea level, on the slope of the mountain Hallingskarvet, stands "Tvergastein', the cabin of Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess. In his life he has spent nearly 12 years in this hut, where he wrote several books and essays on philosophy and ecology. In this film, Naess tells about the concept of 'deep ecology', which was first introduced by him in 1973. One of the basic tenets of deep ecology is that nature has a value in itself, apart from its possible use value to humans. Next to being a famous mountaineer, Naess has been a longtime activist in the environmental movement. He gives an inspiring account of his participation in blockades to prevent the Alta river in northern Norway (the area of the Sami, an indigenous people) from being dammed.
