A longtime friend and supporter of the Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF), Richard Gere has shared a close association with the festival directors and joined its Board of Advisors last year. As Chairman of the International Campaign for Tibet and a devoted friend and student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, he has been a dedicated advocate for Tibet and His Holiness’s message of compassion and nonviolence.
At the 15th edition of DIFF, Richard Gere joins Geshe Lhakdor la, Director of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives (LTWA) and former translator to His Holiness, for a special conversation on “A Human Approach to World Peace,” reflecting on His Holiness’s vision of compassion, universal responsibility, and peace.
