The Pursuit of Happiness

Oftentimes, people say that the one thing they want out of life is true happiness. This showcase features films about characters reflecting on where they are in life and whether or not they feel fulfilled. Within these stories, characters try to understand what choices they can make to pursue happiness within their life and current situation and if they are willing to take risks. From choosing a career despite parental disapproval, to searching for “the one” for marriage, to exploring new experiences despite societal expectations, to becoming a first time father, these stories demonstrate how the choices we make can shape how we go about finding what makes us feel happy and fulfilled in our lifetime.
