This 1996 film chronicles Mohandas Gandhi's formative years in South Africa, spanning the 21 years he spent there beginning in 1893. Gandhi initially traveled to South Africa to provide legal assistance but became involved in social movements, experiences that shaped him before he returned to India to lead its independence struggle. The film is based on Fatima Meer's book 'The Apprenticeship of a Mahatma' and was a South African-Indian co-production directed by Shyam Benegal.
