Little Gandhi is a documentary film about an activist who became a symbol of peaceful revolution during the Syrian Civil War. Matar's notion was inspirational and motivational to all activists and they nicknamed him as “Little Gandhi”. Sam Kadi faces many obstacles to shot the movie and traveling to a war zone is like a suicide. So he chooses to direct the whole film through Skype and some activists in Daraya helps them to complete the impossible task. The way they smuggle the footage out the city is nothing less than a thriller movie. The best part of the whole process is Kadi manages to show the final output to the people who acted in the movie with a password protected link. Overall, This is the first time, Syria had an entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category and it deserves more recognition.
Verdict: Good
