Mahatma Gandhi was born in Porbandar India, an unknown middle-caste Hindu. When he was assassinated on January 30, 1948, the whole world knew him as a fighter for freedom and non-violence. Filmmaker Richard Attenborough made an award-winning three-hour film about him in 1982. What made "Gandhi" (the film) so famous, and was Attenborough’s film historically accurate? It received eleven nominations at the 55th Academy Awards, winning eight, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Flagler College religion professor, Dr. James Rowell, leads an introduction to Gandhi and the viewing of the classic film made about him, as well as his lasting legacy today. The second and third classes will show the Attenborough Film, with commentary. Don't miss this one!
