The actor has also taken an interest in the controversies that surround the independence of Tibet. Harrison Ford even testified before the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee to show his support for the Dalai Lama and Tibet. In 2007, he also narrated a documentary called Dalai Lama Renaissance, which was directed and produced by Khashyaar Darvich. It shows a meeting between the Dalai Lama and the “Synthesis” group, which is made up of 40 Western “renaissance” thinkers who believe that this was going to help them find solutions to the problems of the world. Not only was it well-received, but the documentary also ended up winning twelve awards.
