In 2006 Agnès Varda gathered four intellectuals from various professions and backgrounds—freelance writer-journalist Michèle Manceaux, producer and distributor Gérard Vaugeois, journalist and critic Frédéric Bonnaud, and Fadela Amara, president of the organization Ni putes ni soumises, which seeks to help women of Arab and North African descent assert their rights—to discuss their thoughts on LE BONHEUR as a film and happiness as a concept.
