His triumph changed the world forever.
In the early years of the 20th century, Mohandas K. Gandhi, a British-trained lawyer, forsakes all worldly possessions to take up the cause of Indian independence. Faced with armed resistance from the British government, Gandhi adopts a policy of 'passive resistance', endeavouring to win freedom for his people without resorting to bloodshed.
DirectorRichard Attenborough

Gandhi keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E12/E13 of the E0–E14 reality ladder.
