The 108 Journey is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Hugo Rozon and Mathieu Perrault Lapierre, and released in 2021.[1] The film centres on a trip to India and Nepal which Rozon took in 2019 as a journey of self-reflection following his diagnosis with bipolar disorder.[2]

The film's title is a reference to the spiritual significance of the number 108 in Eastern religious traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.[3]

The film premiered on January 28, 2021, on a dedicated online streaming platform,[2] and was screened theatrically at various film festivals.[1]

Mathieu Perrault Lapierre received two Prix Iris nominations at the 23rd Quebec Cinema Awards, for Best Cinematography in a Documentary and Best Original Music in a Documentary.[4]

Rozon subsequently created Comme des papillons, a documentary series in which eight Quebec celebrities talk about their own mental health journeys.[5]
