In the early years of the 20th century, Mohandas K. Gandhi, a British-trained lawyer, forsakes all worldly possessions to take up the cause of Indian independence. Faced with armed resistance from the British government, Gandhi adopts a policy of 'passive resistance', endeavouring to win freedom for his people without resorting to bloodshed.
If Gandhi hit you the right way, here are Hollywood films that share its DNA. Same emotional weight, same kind of stories, same kind of payoff.
Like Gandhi, this one is rooted in figuring out who you are, belonging, and sacrifice. The world both films live in revolves around life under oppression, class and money, and religion and faith. Same energy: hopeful, melancholic, escalating, and episodic.
