Film Lesson: "Gandhi"

Gandhi helped his Indian nation get its independence by standing up for themselves not through violence but through pride and bravery for there country. The Indians would get beaten and sometimes killed but Gandhi was so sure at the end all of that hurt and sadness it would pay off.
Gandhi was arrested multiple times for civil disobedience, Gandhi would never argue or fight with them no matter what situation. There was a point when the Indians could not take it anymore and they fought back, Gandhi did not agree with fighting back so Gandhi started fasting until they all noticed how Gandhi wanted to get his independence was not through violence.

Somethings Gandhi did was different marches, he even made his own clothing. The indians had a salt march and made there own salt by the beach.
