- The life of Mohandas Karamehand (Mahatma) Gandhi (1869-1948) and his influence on present-day India are examined. Gandhi, the prophet of non-violence, believed in the goodness and equality of all men. Civil disobedience, not violence, was his strategy to accomplish peaceful change and eliminate the gap between classes in society. Before struggling against the British government in India, Gandhi studied law in London and then went to South Africa, where he was jailed in 1908. Footage of Gandhi and interviews with his associates, followers and others is included.
