Gandhi”s Gift–A Documentary Film

Gandhi’s Gift shows the Master of Nonviolence at the end of his life, on the brink of attaining his lifelong goal of freedom from the British but with his heart breaking by the partition of India and the terrible communal violence that is killing untold thousands, perhaps a million or more. Having led masses in nonviolent marches, Gandhi now walks alone for unity and peace.

This film is the first major documentary about Gandhi made in the U.S. It was filmed on location in India, South Africa, and the UK at all the important sites in Gandhi’s life. Historians and witnesses who actually grew up in the Mahatma’s presence tell his story. Featured commentator, Dr. Rajmohan Gandhi, is both an historian and grandson with vivid memories of his grandfather’s final days. Other expert commentators are Gandhians and authors Dr. Vandana Shiva and James Douglass. Inspiring details of Gandhi’s life and thinking, known only by scholars until recently, are part of the commentary. The story of Gandhi is as relevant today as it was when he walked the earth, and introduces audiences in the 21st century to Gandhi’s timeless message of nonviolence and interfaith harmony.
