Happy. dir. Roko Belic. Wadi Rum Films. 2011. DVD.

1) In the documentary Happy, we saw two "happy" communities: the Danish Co-housing community and the community in Okinawa.  To reiterate the documentary, one attains happiness when all of the Intrinsic needs are met.  Name each of the Intrinsic needs and how each need is fulfilled in either the Danish Co-housing community or the community in Okinawa.  Be detailed and specific when writing your examples.

2) The documentary Happy interviewed several people who served as examples of happiness (some people served as examples of unhappiness).  Choose at least three people to write about and explain why they were used in the film--as an example of happiness or unhappiness?  Explain in detail what made them happy or unhappy.  Does their happiness correlate to the Intrinsic needs?
