In the twilight of the British Empire, as India stood on the precipice of a bloody independence, one man walked barefoot through the embers of a nation tearing itself apart. This documentary explores the harrowing final years of Mahatma Gandhi, from his emaciated release from prison in 1944 to his martyrdom in 1948. Witness the "Miracle of Noakhali," where Gandhi faced down mobs with unconditional love, and go inside the ideological war between his vision of a diverse India and the rising tide of religious nationalism. Through rare accounts and historical analysis, we trace the steps of a man who transformed the art of dying into the ultimate tool for peace, ultimately sacrificing his life to extinguish the fires of hatred.
