Abstract
A Force More Powerful, a three-hour, two-part/episode documentary series reveals one of the 20th century's most important but least understood stories how millions chose to battle the forces of brutality and oppression with nonviolent weapons and won. Tracing how the movements inspired, borrowed from and built on each other, the series begins in 1907 with a young Mohandas Gandhi, the most influential leader in the history of nonviolent resistance, as he rouses his fellow Indians living in South Africa in a nonviolent struggle against racial oppression.

Episode 1 of this series chronicles how Gandhi refines and expands the nonviolent weaponry he discovered in South Africa as he leads India's campaign for full independence from Britain in the 1930s. It also reveals a new angle on the American civil rights movement in 1960, then returns full circle to South Africa, this time in the 1980s as activists help dismantle the apartheid system.
