WINNER OF TWO 2009-2010 EMMY® AWARDS

This film takes a hard look at the last of the ancient Himalayan Buddhist Kingdoms, now an emerging democracy trying to balance the forces of the global market with its traditional culture. From cloistered monks to the urban club crowd, traditional farmers to hydroelectric engineers, this penetrating examination of Bhutan’s development philosophy of “Gross National Happiness” reflects our common global need to adjust behavior and world view to account for responsible environmental practices and demonstrates that civilization's survival depends on our ability to live in harmony with the natural world.

Running time: 57 minutes. DVD: 65 minutes with a bonus feature of the Dalai Lama speaking on “Happiness.”

A Reading of "The Last One"
Format: Paperback
This poem represents Merwin at his insidious best, the conversational tone of the poem slowly leading to something imminently and undefinably dark, doom-laden. The poem was originally published in "The Lice" a book of poems written in the French countryside where, Merwin says, "I felt at once a profound attraction to the rural world in which I was living and a disquieting recognition of the fragility and uncertainty of my relation to it." "The Last One" ominously conveys that disquiet.
