Richard Attenborough's award-winning epic recounts the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi.
In South Africa, a young Indian lawyer is booted off a train for refusing to ride second-class. Upon his return to his native India and fed up with the unjust political system, he joins the Indian Congress Party, which encourages social change through passive resistance. When his "subversive" activities land him in jail, masses of low-skilled workers strike to support his non-violent yet revolutionary position. Back in India, Gandhi renounces the Western way of life and struggles to organize Indian labor against British colonialism. A strike costs many British soldiers their lives, so the crown responds by slaughtering 1,500 Indians. Enraged, the ascetic, spiritual leader continues to preach pacifism until he has lead India out from under the tyranny of British imperialism.

Well, if you believe in the Bible that is.

I was only joking....I see someone cant see the funny side to things..
Yeah.........right
Well judging from your incisive, reasoned and thoroughly well informed previous postings on this topic, you are clearly a leading scholar of imperial history. However, in this film it was never the case that the 'Brits are the baddies' (incidentally why present tense - are you aware that these events were over 60 years ago?). While Gandhi was certainly portrayed as a Christ like figure (wrongly in my view as he was a morally more ambiguous figure than some suppose), some British characters are portrayed sympathetically, while others are not.
