GANDHI
December 14, 2019  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Mohandas Gandhi started off as a sort of Indian Rosa Parks – spurred to nonviolent protest after being denied equal treatment on public transportation. In his case, he was ejected from the first class compartment of a South African train merely because he was an Indian. That was in 1893, and led to a successful protest against South African policies that, in turn, inspired Gandhi to push for change in his native India, calling for independence from the British empire. Ben Kingsley stars as Gandhi in director Richard Attenborough’s 1982 epic biography, and co-stars include Candice Bergen as famed photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White.
