The Making of the Mahatma

Gandhi's long progression on his way to becoming the Mahatma was a deep and profound one. This film tells the story of Gandhi's early days and specifically examines the 21 years he spent in South Africa studying various forms of truth, which gave his people -- and all of humanity -- the ultimate form of liberty and, eventually, freedom. Renowned director Shyam Benegal provides us with a powerful look at a powerful man.
