A Celebration of the Human Spirit. This half-hour documentary takes the viewer on a journey into the lives of individuals of diverse ages, cultures, and occupations who offer their perspectives and experiences of joy. In the midst of their search, both filmmakers suffer within one month the sudden death of both their fathers. They unintentionally become part of the film as they discover through their loss that one cannot experience true joy without responding honestly to pain. “In Search of Joy” is an interweaving of interviews, evocative images, and original music of several traditions, embracing a broad range of the spiritual and everyday, and focusing on the sacredness of life.
