Northwest Indiana Discussion

All events and principles of Gandhi's life and thoughts are viewed in this film 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", 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 78-year life of Gandhi but also of an important period of India's history. It is hoped that though no attempt is made at embellishment, truth itself stated, as far as possible, in Gandhi's words in all its dignity and simplicity would convey the message to the audience with directness and precision characteristic of Gandhi's utterances and writings. The documentary presented here is an abridged version of a 5 hrs. 10 min. full-length documentary.
