DeInception

Directed by John Angheli
In DeINCEPTION, John Angheli explores the source of our deepest motivations and the cornerstone of our democratic ideals - the nature of happiness. What is it, really? How does our pursuit of happiness shape our ethics, economics, and ecology? And why, in an age of unparalleled abundance and freedom, are rates of psychological depression continuing to rise? After a near-fatal car accident raises questions of personal meaning and mortality, John embarks on an ancient rite of passage: a 40-day and 40-night vision quest in the Tasmanian wilderness. Through sustained solitude, stillness, and fasting, he seeks to uncover the code behind the question, "What is happiness?" Alongside this personal journey, John engages with some of the world's leading thinkers on happiness. Together, they peel back the "cultural inceptions" that may lie at the root of modern discontent.
