Crossing Bhutan Trailer Released

February 9, 2016

Santa Barbara International Film Festival

The World Premier of “Crossing Bhutan” will be featured at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this year and below is an engaging description by the producers, as well as the trailer itself, of his Himalayan adventure film featuring a grueling, 485-mile adventure.

Many know Bhutan as the last Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom and the only country in the world to use Gross National Happiness as its primary yardstick for progress.

Crossing Bhutan

Drawn by the allure of this enigmatic kingdom, four veteran athletes attempt an unprecedented human-powered, border-to-border crossing of Bhutan, hoping to experience Bhutan’s policy of “GNH” first hand.

When the demands of the grueling 32-day, 485-mile journey push the team beyond their breaking point, they must confront the challenge inherent in walking what Buddhist’s call the Middle Path – embracing the benefits of our fast-paced modern life while still honoring the ancient traditions and values that makes Bhutan so unique.
