Gandhi's Gift shows the Master of Nonviolence at the end of his life, after searing personal losses, on the brink of attaining his lifelong goal of freedom from the British but with his heart breaking by the partition of India and the terrible communal violence that is killing untold thousands. Having led masses in nonviolent marches, Gandhi now walks almost alone for unity and peace.
Gandhi's Gift is the first major documentary about Gandhi made in the U.S. It is filmed on location in India, South Africa and the UK at the important sites in Gandhi's life. This film reveals inspiring details about Gandhi's life that were known only by scholars before now. His story is as timely as ever, introducing audiences to a 21st Century Gandhi with a message of nonviolence, equality, interfaith harmony and sustainability more important now than even when he walked the Earth.
Historians and witnesses who actually grew up in the Mahatma's presence tell his story. Featured commentator, Dr. Rajmohan Gandhi, is both a historian and grandson with vivid memories of his grandfather's final days. Interviews such as his are historic in view of the age of the participants. Other expert commentators in the hour-long film are Dr. Vandana Shiva, world-renowned environmentalist, and James Douglass, best-selling author and activist.
Gandhi's Gift is especially inspiring because it shows our world a way out of the descending spiral of violence and hatred.
Immediately following this film, Cynthia Lukas, co-producer of Gandhi's Gift will lead a Q & A session.
