The South African part

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2016)

I would have liked to have seen more of the movie focus on Mahatma Gandhi's attempt to fight for the rights of native blacks in South Africa. I know much has been written about Gandhi's alleged lack of empathy towards native blacks in South Africa, but maybe a prequel can be made to address these concerns. Given Gandhi's fight for justice for all, I just cannot imagine he would have disregarded the human rights of black natives in South Africa.
Anyway, kudos to Ben Kingsley (who was excellent in Sneakers) and also of course to the director. It would be interesting to know how the movie was received in India. I know that Slumdog Millionaire, a British movie, wasn't exactly well received in India.
