Gandhi

Epic and unforgettable, Gandhi swept the 1983 Oscars, winning eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Ben Kingsley), Best Screenplay and Best Director for Richard Attenborough. The awe-inspiring story of Mahatma Gandhi, the diminutive lawyer who stood up to the British in India and became an international symbol of nonviolence and understanding, brilliantly underscores the difference one individual can make.

I never understood who Gandhi was until I watched this film. I'm not even sure what to say. I'm in awe of his philosophy and courage to stand up to the unjust.

An eye for an eye makes the world blind....
