簡介
有誰知道在世界的另一端發生著什麼事情。電影改變了我們現在學習知曉的方法。在美國Utah這個地方里有一個小鎮，叫做‘快樂谷’，原因是它擁有最低的犯罪率，最高的讀書分子巴仙率，和最多食用Jello這種食品的一個地方。
但不為人知的是，在這一切美好面孔的裡面，它擁有 - 很多的商店泛濫販賣藥品，包括憂鬱症的藥品，每個星期最少一位少年死亡。如果說這個是個編輯故事倒還沒有如此驚訝，但這個是個真實的記錄電影，所有的事情都是在這個時刻中發生。這部電影跟隨著幾個受影響的家庭，讓我們親身感覺到這種泛濫用藥物的可怕。
可喜的是，我們也可以看到那家人對受害者無私的愛，原諒，接受，改變。
Deep in the heart of Utah, commonly referred to as "Happy Valley," residents enjoy one of the lowest crime rates, highest literacy and language fluency - even the most jello consumption - across the nation. Yet under the glossy exterior of this beautiful community, there are less popular categories that Happy Valley contends in but doesn't advertise, including prescription drug abuse, double the national average of anti-depressant drugs, even SUICIDE. In Happy Valley at least one teen per week dies from drug overdose. The real-life true story, Happy Valley, sheds light on the growing problem of prescription drug abuse in Utah County and, as importantly, the associated issues of denial, conformity, social pressure and guilt. The film intimately follows several lives and families that have been dramatically affected by prescription drug abuse leading to street drug abuse and addiction. From these stories and a single father's journey to reunite a family emerge unconditional love, forgiveness, acceptance... even transformation.
