Can a film inspire an “awakening” within its filmmaker, as well as with audiences around the world? Dalai Lama Awakening, which features the Dalai Lama and is narrated by actor Harrison Ford, is directed by Khashyar Darvich. Dalai Lama Awakening presents the profound and life-changing journey of innovative Western thinkers who travel to India to meet with the Dalai Lama to solve many of the world’s problems. The film was born from over 500 hours of video footage that was shot by 10 cinematographers over a 15-year period. Audiences are describing the film as “a shift in consciousness” and “transformational.” In a five-star review, Examiner.com calls Dalai Lama Awakening “a beautiful and thought-provoking film.” “Visually compelling, inspiring and thought-provoking,” writes Tom Richards of Surviving Ireland. “Darvich has put together a compelling, slow-burning documentary that… hits you on the way home.” Also screening from award-winning director Khashyar Darvich is his new film Compassion in Action.
