Flim Lesson Gandhi

The film began with Gandhi's assassination and funeral on January 30, 1948. He was killed because of the split of Hindus and Muslims into Pakistan and India, instead of trying to keep the country united Gandhi was killed by a one of the visitors. he story then jumps back to Gandhi early in his life, when he is attorney. He is traveling in South Africa on a train and is thrown off because he refuses to give up his first class seat. The conductor wants him to move because he is Indian.
Gandhi helped India by protesting non-violence so India could get their independence from Britain. He was a hero to the Indians. He was arrested a lot of times but we wouldn't give up. A lot of people were killed during this. During one scene, they ask all of Gandhi’s followers to burn all of their clothes that were made in Britain and wear only what they can make themselves. Gandhi practices this for the rest of his life, usually wearing just cloth.Gandhi was in jail and some of his followers are peacefully gathered in a square. The police lock up the square and kill almost everyone over 1,500 people. Gandhi is disgusted and discouraged. He continues to preach non-violence, but the Indians do have occasional conflict with the police. Gandhi’s counter to the popular phrase “an eye for an eye” says that after that, “everyone will be blind.”
Another time, he led a long walk to the sea to protest the British monopoly on salt. The Indians made their own salt out of the sea.Ganhi travels to Europe to deal with India's freedom. After they are freed, there is a civil war between the Hindus and the Muslims. They are forced to move around so they are in separate parts, India and Pakistan, and total chaos breaks out. Gandhi goes on another one of his fasts and refuses to eat until he is convinced all fighting has stopped. This is very difficult, but is accomplished.
