Description: This film presents the life of a unique figure of the twentieth century, Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led India to independence by means of a most unusual weapon - non-violence. He called upon his people to suffer any indignity from the British, but to offer only love in return. We see Gandhi in prison living his principle of "freedom through suffering" as well as dramatic examples of his non-violent defiance of the British. The accomplishment of Gandhi's singular efforts for Indian political freedom culminate with the reading of the official proclamation of independence. On January 30, 1948, death came to Gandhi in a cruel and paradoxical manner: on his way to pray, he was assassinated by a religious fanatic. The final scenes of this filmed biography depict the sorrow of both India and the world. From the award-winning BIOGRAPHY SERIES produced by David Wolper.
