Выживание людей в сложном сибирском климате всегда было интересной темой для различных документалистов. Дмитрий Васюков снял ознакомительную картину «Счастливые люди», которая основана на быте жителей села Бахта. Здесь связь с внешним миром осложнена близким расположением Енисея, но живущие там люди не унывают, каждый день их жизни наполнены занимательными событиями. Режиссер хотел напомнить всем зрителям, что наша Родина настолько огромна и разнообразна, что существуют настолько удаленные от цивилизации уголки, где граждане ценят простые блага природы, живут с ней в мире и гармонии.Документальная картина «Счастливые люди» завоевала множество положительных отзывов у зрителей и кинокритиков.
