Shaky, dull and dark in contrast and imagery. Sound qulaity is poor on the master. Assassinated by a Hindu fanatic, India s famed spiritual leader is dead. Shocked followers mob Gandhi's slayer and witness the terrible climax to a life of peace and brotherly love. Some footage from parts of his life, including walking among crowds. In New York, the united nations pauses in tribute to the great mahatma, and India s delegate expresses his country's, and the world's feeling of loss and bereavement.
