Plot – Gandhi’s political activism begins in South Africa after that he is expelled from a train’s first class because he is Indian. The rebellion towards English laws combines with pacifism. He ends up in prison, but when he goes back to India he is welcomed as a hero. Encouraged by his wife, Gandhi becomes the leader of a separatist movement that the English government doesn’t know how to stop. After overtaking the contrasts between Muslims and Hindus, Gandhi leads his people to the final victory before he becomes victim of the bigotry that divides his compatriots.
