Synopsis

As a lawyer, Mahatma Gandhi had fought for the rights of the poor. After spending time in Britain as well as South Africa - where he encouraged the act of peaceful protest - Gandhi returned to India to fight for his fellow countrymen. Gandhi's effective, non-violent actions highlighted issues such as women's rights, "untouchability" and Indian independence from British rule - inspiring other civil rights leaders, including America's Martin Luther King. Actor Ben Kingsley won worldwide praise and a Best Actor Oscar for his moving portrayal of India's national hero.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
