Father Bill Mackey: Beloved Son of Bhutan

Father Bill Mackey: Beloved Son of Bhutan | Documentary 1976
Canada
In 1963, Father Bill Mackey, a sixty-one-year-old half-Bhutanese and half-Canadian Jesuit educator living in the remote mountains of eastern Bhutan, was asked by the King to help set up Bhutan’s first educational system. Father Mackey thus became the Principal of the Sherubtse School, which has since become Bhutan’s first university-level educational institution. He also became the only foreigner (along with only four Bhutanese) to have ever received that country’s highest award: the Beloved Son of Bhutan Medal. This film examines his work, his philosophy and his desires for the future.
En 1963, le Père Bill Mackey, un enseignant jésuite canado-bhoutanais vivant dans les montagnes de l’est du Bhoutan, fut invité par le roi à établir le tout premier système d’éducation au Bhoutan. Ainsi, le Père Mackey fut nommé directeur de l’école Sherubtse, devenue depuis le premier établissement d’enseignement de niveau universitaire au Bhoutan. Il est également le seul étranger (en compagnie de seulement quatre citoyens bhoutanais) à se voir décerner le plus grand honneur du pays : la Médaille du fils bien-aimé du Bhoutan. Le film se penche sur son parcours, ses philosophies et ses aspirations pour l’avenir.

    Great footage, first time seeing it. I was lucky to meet this great man in the 1990s when I was still a student.

    Father William Mackey SJ was Chief Inspector of school in 1990. I approach him for recommendation for admission to Diploma in Engineering at Dewathang polytecnic for which he graciously accepted. But I didn't go for the course and lost this precious letter.
