Gandhi

In 1893, Mohandas Gandhi, a British-trained lawyer, finds himself on a train headed for afternoon prayers in New Delhi, marking a pivotal moment in his journey towards nonviolent resistance and Indian independence. With over 300,000 extras bringing the story to life, "Gandhi" (1982) tells the true story of a man who, after being thrown off a train for being in a whites-only compartment, campaigns tirelessly for racial equality and eventually becomes a major leader in the Indian independence movement against the British Empire. As Gandhi navigates the complexities of colonial rule, he faces brutal suppression at every turn, yet remains steadfast in his commitment to nonviolence and human dignity.
