Film Lesson "Gandhi"

Gandhi helped India gain independence fromGreat Britain. He did a lot to help gain this independence. He had a method of non-violence that worked in making Great Britain look evil. By not attacking Great Britain back even though Great Britain kept attacking their people. When the people attacked back Gandhi fasted (went on a hunger strike) in order for the people to stop using violence. Eventually the violence stopped and Gandhi stopped fasting. Some of the things Gandhi did to gain freedom from Great Britain was burning the parcels the Indians had to carry in order to seperate them from the British. Another thing he did was boycot the British clothing. He made his own clothes from thread made in India. He also went on a salt march. He went to the sea and made his own salt and that brought down the profits that Britain got from selling salt in India. No matter how many times they arrested Gandhi the people never gave up and neither did Gandhi.
