Upper Story (2020)

Upper Story: Directed by Alessandra Pedrotti Catoni. With Susan Bauer-Wu, The Dalai Lama, Richard Davidson, Thukten Dema. Today, over 10% of the global population suffers from mental health problems. Three decades of collaboration between scientists and Buddhist scholars have revealed techniques that allow us to develop our mental well-being and improve the impact we have on our planet.

“If you are looking for a lot of answers to the complexities of life, there are few, if any, nuggets in this documentary. Rather, it comes across more of an informercial about the work being done between scientists and Buddhist scholars in various institutions around the world. Interesting but not captivating.”
