In the early years of the 20th century, Mohandas K. Gandhi, a British-trained lawyer, forsakes all worldly possessions to take up the cause of Indian independence. Faced with armed resistance from the British government, Gandhi adopts a policy of 'passive resistance', endeavouring to win freedom for his people without resorting to bloodshed.

probabilmente è meglio guardarlo quando non si ha approfondito la figura del mahatma (bel film in generale tho considerando che è stato fatto non da un indiano)

Gandhi: An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
For 3+ hours this flows very well, even if it plays out like something I’d watch in a history class.
