Join us on Friday, October 24 for our Fourth Friday Film, Gandhi, the biography of Mohandas K. Gandhi, the lawyer who became the famed leader of the Indian revolts against the British rule through the philosophy of nonviolent protest.

 “This is the sort of rare epic film that spans the decades, that uses the proverbial cast of thousands and yet follows a human thread from beginning to end: “Gandhi” is no more overwhelmed by the scope of its production than was Gandhi overwhelmed by all the glory of the British Empire. . . . The movie is a labor of love by Sir Richard Attenborough, who struggled for years to get financing for his huge but ‘non-commercial’ project.”

- Excepted from Roger Ebert’s review.
