Gandhi (1982)

Here are the things I know about Gandhi the person:
He was Indian.
He went on hunger strikes.
He believed in civil disobedience.
He once gave up sugar before he told someone else to give up sugar.
He was assassinated.

Here are the things I know about Gandhi the movie:
It was directed by the grandfather from Jurassic Park.

I'm guessing this epic film will make some arguments I need to consider about postcolonialism, Indian integration and culture, and the life and death of a twentieth-century icon. Really looking forward to this one!
