The Wangchuck dynasty began with a coronation in 1907. King Jigme Singye Wangchuck was the only son of the five children born to the late Majesty King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck and Queen Kesang Choden. His offical coronation took place two year later in 1974.

'Bhutan - Fortress of the Gods' tells the story of modernisation of Bhutan under the leadership of King Jigme Singe Wangchuk. Credited with following a path of modernisation that balances local cultural needs with economic development the King coined the definer 'gross national happiness.' Bhutan is a unique example of a constitutional monarchy that harmoniously blends together its cultural heritage, spiritual moorings and practices, political ideology and its economic ambitions. The film visually evokes modern Bhutan, tucked away in the Himalayas and surrounded by huge nations like India and China, in all its various forms. The films also refers to its rich, cultural and religious history. Bhutan is a unique story, as the film demonstrates, of a nation building its own democracy in compliance with its particular character and history.
