A three-hour BBC documentary on Gandhi (2009) is now on YouTube. It does a reasonable job of covering Gandhi's life: basic biographical details, historical events, key influences, lucky breaks, setbacks, etc. Based on mainstream scholarship, it avoids many notable controversies and critiques while still conveying a sense of this immensely bold, complex, and strangely charismatic man who, despite his significant flaws, errors of judgment, and idiosyncrasies, still captivates people worldwide and has become an icon for non-violent resistance. It includes some rare historical footage as well.
Click here to watch all video clips consecutively on YouTube. The three episodes are: The Making of the Mahatma, The Rise to Fame, and The Road to Freedom. (Whoever posted the video has curiously inserted "British Propaganda" in the name! Is that merited you think?)
It Was A Decent Documentary.The Person Who posted It on Youtube Apparently Is An Indian.He Also Mentions That The The Reporter(Mishal Husain) Is Of Pakistani Origin Thereby Implying That It Was A Pakistani Attempt To Malign Gandhi.
Not All Documentaries Are Perfect and This Is No Acception,Sources,Research and References Can Be Questioned But To Say That It Is An Attempt To Defame Gandhi or 'British Propaganda' Is Total Crap.
I Personally Think That It Was A Good Attempt To Cover The Life of Gandhi and The Reporter Did Indeed Present A Decent Documentary

This Was An Excellent Documentary No Doubt.The Indian Comments and The Impression That It Was Propaganda Was Uncalled For and Condemnable
