A message of peace seems necessary these days and who better than Gandhi embodies that ideal?
Catch a pre-release screening of the new documentary, Gandhi’s Gift, about the life and work of Mahatma Gandhi. Famous for using hunger fasts as a means of nonviolent resistance, the spiritualist became a powerful leader and beloved figure in his native India and beyond. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. cited Gandhi as a major influence in his own civil rights movement.
Kell Kearns and Cynthia Lukas made the film with the assistance of Gandhi’s grandson, Arun Gandhi. Presented by the MultiFaith Council of NW Ohio and the Greater Toledo Compassionate Community, the screening should be a powerful reminder that everyone has the power to change lives for the better.
