1982 Princess of Wales Attends Gandhi Premiere |
The Princess of Wales attended the premier of ‘Gandhi.’
Richard Attenborough directed this massive epic, which charts the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the lawyer turned political activist who helped India to achieve independence from Britain. Gandhi used non-violent resistance to the British Government to achieve this outcome, providing the world with an example of how an Empire can be brought down by pacifism. Ben Kingsley won an Oscar for Best Actor for his performance as Gandhi in the film. |
