Examine the representation of Gandhi in the film made in 1982, considering how he is portrayed and why different aspects of his life are included and left out. Reference specific scenes (with timestamps) and at least 5 assigned readings from Hind Swaraj. No outside sources are allowed. Focus on the choices of what to depict and how in relation to the readings (primary or secondary). What does the film add to what you’ve already learned? What difference does it make to see Gandhi’s life through this medium? What is left out and why? Keep in mind that no film can 100% capture all aspects of a person and choices have to be made! Think about the major parts.
