Gandhi/Out of Africa

Double bill featuring two drama movies. 'Gandhi' (1982) is Richard Attenborough's Academy Award-winning epic following the extraordinary life of Mahatma Gandhi (Ben Kingsley), from his beginnings as a young Indian lawyer to his triumph as a revolutionary - whose philosophy of non-violent protest helped gain India its independence. 'Out of Africa' (1985) is the tale of colonial life based on the adventures of Karen Blixen.

Karen (Meryl Streep) arrives in Africa in 1914 and marries Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke (Klaus Maria Brandauer).

Their marriage soon cools into a 'civilised' separation, but Karen finds herself falling in love with the wild, unfamiliar country and its people.

Then she meets handsome, fiercely independent hunter Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford), and a hesitant romance ensues.
