Dalai Lama Renaissance is a 2-hour feature documentary film, narrated by actor Harrison Ford and produced and directed by Khashyar Darvich, to be released in the Summer of 2007, about the Dalai Lama's meeting with Western "renaissance" thinkers at his home in Dharamsala, India, about changing the world and resolving many of the world's problems.

These Western thinkers who meet the Dalai Lama include: quantum physicists Fred Alan Wolf and Amit Goswami (from the documentaries What the Bleep Do We Know and The Secret), social scientist Jean Houston, and founder of Agape International Spiritual Center church in Los Angeles, Dr. Michael Beckwith.

The film includes original music by Tibetan musicians, as well as master sitarist Roop Verma, who studied under Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan.

This is the first feature film about the Dalai Lama released for many years.
