Which documentary had Harrison Ford as a Narrator?

The story behind the answer

The documentary Harrison Ford narrated was Mustang: The Hidden Kingdom. The 1994 film explores the remote Himalayan kingdom of Mustang, a culturally Tibetan region in northern Nepal, through the journey of an envoy sent by the Dalai Lama.

Directed by Tony Miller, the 90-minute documentary focuses on an effort to bring two boys into contact with teachings intended to preserve Mustang’s traditional way of life. The region was long isolated from outsiders, which gives the film its distinctive setting and historical importance.

Ford’s contribution was as the English-language narrator and voice-over performer, not as an on-screen presenter or participant. Ian Holm also appears in the voice cast, while Saeed Jaffrey plays Khamtruel Rimpoche. The documentary was later broadcast in the BBC’s Everyman strand in January 1995, where listings specifically credited Ford as narrator.

A common mix-up is to associate Ford’s narration with a larger nature-documentary series or with one of his better-known acting roles. In this case, the canonical title is the relatively obscure television documentary Mustang: The Hidden Kingdom, sometimes styled Mustang - the Hidden Kingdom.
