The educational short film attempts to be a lesson in history and talk about a figure who is beginning to get mired in controversy and conflicted opinions from all quarters. It endeavours to take the viewer into the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi and discuss his views on politics as well as personal practice.
From championing his ideals of simplicity to discussing his ideas of nationalism and patriotism, the film hopes to construct a positive narrative around Gandhi as a figure who earned himself the title of the 'father of the nation', as opposed to the theories and views of his detractors. The visuals are constituted by simple shots of an ensemble cast led by the primary character of the Mahatma. As it reaches its end, there is an effort to invoke a sense of his lessons having been passed on to the younger generation. As different people bring different views to who truly was the man and persona behind Gandhi, this film does its bit to share its views and opinions in a simple, straight manner.
