Gandhi (1982)
Winner of 8 Academy Awards Including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
The beautiful life story of Mahatmas Karamchand Gandhi, a successful lawyer who drove the British Empire out of India and gained independence for his country. Richard Attenborough's passion and eagerness to make this film received numerous film awards for its sheer brilliance with Ben Kingsley delivering one of the most unforgettable performances of all time. Determination, unity, passion and patience is the message of the film as well as sacrifice. Superlative cinema with all the ingredients of a classic.
