In the documentary, the Dalai Lama discusses the calls for economic sanctions against China, and emphasizes that he could not support economic sanctions towards China since it would hurt the ordinary Chinese poor. The film features two of the starring quantum physicists from the hit theatrical documentary "What the Bleep Do We Know," Physicists Fred Alan Wolf and Amit Goswami. Also appearing in "Dalai Lama Renaissance" are Michael Beckwith (who appears in the film "The Secret" with Wolf), Air America radio host Thom Hartmann, and others. The film tells the story of 40 Western innovative thinkers who travel to India in the Himalayan Mountains to meet with the Dalai Lama to solve many of the world’s problems. What happened was surprising and unexpected, and was captured by a five camera, and an eighteen person crew. Narrated by Harrison Ford. "I narrated Dalai Lama Renaissance," says Harrison Ford, "because I believe His Holiness is making a positive influence in our world. For me, the film represented an opportunity to continue assisting the optimistic efforts of an extraordinary individual." "This film was startlingly original" "A beautiful and fresh window on the Dalai Lama" -- Jean Miyake Downey, Kyoto Journal
