Watch Until the End!

Warning: Spoilers
Honestly I thought this film would be more inspirational or spiritual but it's primarily a mundane documentary-style fictionalized view of the changes that occurred in the government of Bhutan during the 2000s. It is definitely beautiful to look at but the music isn't even great, the "Bhutanese pop" song was played over and over and sounded more like a Western "new country" song from the time period. Ugh. Lots of shots of crappy network style television and people being trained to hold a mock election. The subtitles are also not great on the Amazon version. Also the white guy is a terrible actor.

But the overall message of the film and end scenes are very good.
