This 1982 biographical epic stars Ben Kingsley as Mahatma Gandhi, with Candice Bergen as Margaret Bourke-White and such eminent co-stars as Edward Fox and John Gielgud. The action begins about a century before the movie was released, when a young Gandhi had his own personal Rosa Parks-type moment on a South African train. After he was ejected from a first-class compartment for being Indian, Gandhi began a series of nonviolent protests – a protest that spread from unfair practices on South African transportation systems to a demand for human rights that was positively planetary, and planetarily positive.
