The Making of the Mahatma plot

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from India travels to the United Kingdom for his work as a lawyer. Once there, he is discriminated against and mistreated. He settles the lawsuit and then leaves for South Africa. Racism is also a daily phenomenon there. Both native Africans and immigrants from India are invariably oppressed by the colonialists. Gandhi eventually spends a large part of his life in South Africa to fight for equal rights for all without violence.
