"Friendship has a much bigger effect on average on happiness than income." (Lord Layard, London School of Economics)

Independant filmmaker Lisa Kamen produced the 10-minute short, "A Passage Through India - Diamonds in the Rough"...

These one-minute heartprint interviews have been filmed in diverse locales around India and in the United States including Central Park, Ground Zero, bus stations, homeless shelters, fire and police stations, schools for the deaf, independent living centers, jail, hospitals, houses of worship, a funeral home, people in commuter traffic, in lines, in labor, in escrow, and in debt—and the filming continues…

From homeless person to housewife, from celebrity to politician, many interviewed have said they never gave themselves the space to invite such a question in. Consequently, in this rare moment seized for the sole purpose of exploring happiness, they create room for this intangible feeling and find surprisingly easy access to it.

Experts and lay people alike see ample evidence that wealth, fame, and material goods don’t produce real happiness. In “H-Factor...Where is Your Heart?” real people from all walks of life illustrate—in humorous and heartfelt ways—what does.
