Gandhian films to be screened in Mumbai, New York on Sept 11

To mark the 100th anniversary of the modern non-violent movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi, one film each will be screened on September 11 in Mumbai and New York.

A Force More Powerful, a film based on non-violence conflicts, will be screened here by Mumbai Sarvodaya Mandal and Gandhian organisations.

The film focusses on popular movements fighting regimes or military forces with weapons different from guns and bullets such as strikes, boycotts, petitions, walkouts and parades, according to a release here.
