Episode 25 - Gandhi
Cameron Olbert was the perfect guest to have on today’s podcast to discuss the 1982 film, Gandhi. Cameron is currently studying International Relations at the University of Edinburgh and has a vast understanding of the political movement that is featured in this film. Additionally, he kindly guides Nathan through the correct pronunciation of Edinburgh and the other historical figures represented in this Best Picture winner. Listen as the two discuss the impact of Gandhi’s vision for his home country, the subtle power of this film and the amazing feat of Ben Kingsley making hand spun clothing while delivering his lines. Though Gandhi is not thought of as a holiday film, its themes of peace are a perfect companion to this Thanksgiving week.
