(This is a preview for a movie about Gandhi's life. I've seen this movie and know it is extremely accurate.) This academy award winning movie provokes the deep understanding of the struggle to liberate India. Gandhi was the forward figure in the movement, who preached that, "In this cause I too am prepared to die, there is no cause in which I am prepared to kill." His words of non-violence formed the liberation of India from the English empire, and influenced many revolutions to come. This artifact depicts the effect that one person can have on the whole world. They didn't fight but rather told everyone of the immorality of what they were doing that made them stop. We learn that peace heroes can be regular people who let their message be known and like Gandhi are prepared to give their life for their cause.
