Gandhi in his 1982 epic, 'Gandhi.' The film, which traces Gandhi's roots as a lawyer to his famous philosophy of non-violent protest, won 8 Oscars. The prizes included Best Picture, Best Director for Attenborough, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor for Kingsley himself, who happens to be half Indian.
