Little Gandhi

A film by Sam Kadi, 93 min

Syria’s official submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards®


Shot under siege and directed over Skype, LITTLE GANDHI is a documentary about iconic Syrian peace activist Ghiyath Matar who was known for his initiative of facing down violent government security forces with bottles of water and white roses. Matar’s brutal torture and death at the age of 26 outraged the international community and erupted into one of the most violent uprisings in modern history.
