Finland: The Happiest Country That Almost Didn't Exist plus Q&A (N/C 12+)
About This Event
Finland – this sub-arctic state with a Scotland-sized population has snow, Santa, trees and a precarious land border with Russia. It's also been the worlds happiest country for eight years running, with the best education system, food security and levels of trust in government and in one another. Helsinki folk were more likely to hand in a dropped wallet than folk in any other world capital. Not bad for a country that almost ceased to exist in the 20th century after famine, civil war and invasion. What explains their incredible transformation? Lesley Riddoch will be present for the post film Q&A.
