5 hours. 10 minutes.  The documentary covers almost all events and principles of Gandhi's life and thought are viewed as integrated parts of his truth-intoxicated life depicting permanent and universal values.

The purpose of the film is to tell the present and the future generations "that such a man as Gandhi in flesh and blood walked upon this earth", to acquaint them with his life and work and to spread his message of peace and universal brotherhood to the war-weary and fear-stricken world. The film brings together a mass of visual record not only of the 78-year life of Gandhi but also of an important period of India's history.

The aim of the film being education and not entertainment, there is no attempt at dramatization of those exciting times. The story is told with an eye to the truthful documentation of the main events within the limits of available documentary visual material...   Read more about the film: visit gandhiserve.org
