ECHOES OF PEACE: THE GANDHI STORY cover image
As a long time follower of Gandhi, I was delighted to see this short documentary by Daniel Taylor, a middle school student.

This documentary covers the highlights of Gandhi's life, and his impact on the world.

This film gives a good overview of Gandhi's life and is sensitively created, using archival images and video, two live speakers (Yohuru Williams and one not identified) and narration. Daniel Taylor is not only the director, writer and producer; he is also the narrator of this film. The images are well selected, as are the speakers. The narration leaves something to be desired as it is read rather quickly without any emotion - very disappointing since the other aspects of the film are so good. The editing is quite good and the background music is inspiring. However, setting that aside, Gandhi remains one of the significant influencers of the 20th century.

The film is a reminder of Mahatma Gandhi's impact on civil rights and the influence of nonviolent resistance.

I give Echoes of Peace: The Gandhi Story 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
