Synopsis

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was invited to South Africa in 1893 to settle a case for a wealthy Indian settled there. He expected to return in a few months but instead got involved in the freedom movement and eventually stayed for 21 years.

MUBI's take

Both epic and intimate, this adaptation of activist Fatima Meer’s book Apprenticeship of a Mahatma is a riveting portrait of the iconic Gandhi. Focusing on his time in South Africa, director Shyam Benegal and star Rajit Kapoor capture a period only briefly explored in other biopics about the man.
