Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of Mahatma Gandhi's political career in South Africa and later his struggle for independence in India, "Gandhi, My Father" tells the intensely personal true story of one of the most important father figures in contemporary history and his failed relationship with his own son.

In the shadows of the Great Man lived his eldest son, Harilal Gandhi. Once a follower of his father’s ideals, a rift formed between the two when father denied son the opportunity to study law in Great Britain. Harilal left his father in South Africa and returned to India determined to make it on his own. Instead he spent years roaming the streets like a beggar, converting to Islam as an act of rebellion, converting back to Hinduism as penance and finally drinking himself to death. Five months after the death of Mahatma Gandhi, Harilal Gandhi, died as a destitute, alone in a hospital in Bombay.
