KASTURBA GANDHI was the wife to an icon of the 20th century. But Mahatma Gandhi credited her with teaching him about nonviolence. Who was she? How did she “accidentally” become one of the first women activists in modern history? What is her connection to women activists today? History missed this Story. In this film, several insightful interviews and remarkable photos bring alive the life and activism of Kasturba Gandhi. The creator and producer of this award-winning film, Cynthia Lukas, will be present at this showing to answer questions about lessons of Ms. Gandhi’s life, as well as the challenges of making a film during the Covid pandemic.
