Good film on a great man

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2017)

The life story of Mahatma Gandhi. We see his life from his time as a lawyer in South Africa, to his return to India and his rise through politics, to his becoming a leader of the movement for Indian independence and standing up to the English rulers through passive resistance.
Stirring, epic movie, directed by Richard Attenborouggh. Covers Gandhi's life in great detail and shows well the sort of man he was.
Superb performance by Ben Kingsley in the lead role, for which he won an Oscar.
The movie won the 1983 Best Picture Oscar, plus seven other Oscars, including Best Director for Richard Attenborough.
