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.
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.
