Or Honorary Whitewash

First things first, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the first Governor General of Pakistan.

That said, we're dragging Gandhi fam. Do you like owning White supremacists with facts and logic? Do you like nationalism? Do you like a camera locked down at all times? Then you'll love 1982's Gandhi.

Here in part one, the past really is prologue. Young Gandhi-an insanely handsome Ben Kingsley-is putting in the work for his Academy Award. Never let it be unsaid: this is a good movie. A good film.

Sir (also earned) Knight Commander Richard Attenborough is at the top of his directorial game. Though his brother,David-the Voice of Nature-Attenborough is up there.

Nevertheless, like the opening inscription, Gandhi's life and story requires multiple retellings.

Who better than two cisgender White males to give you the straightest dope on an ethnonationalist?

Really proud of this one, hope you enjoy.
