Scenes of Mahatma Gandhi associated with end of his imprisonment and 21-day fast in India
Indian political leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi also called "Mahatma Gandhi," recovering from his imprisonment and 21-day fast to promote improved lives for India's Dalits, aka "untouchables," whom Gandhi calls "Harijan" (roughly equivalent to children of God). Mahatma Gandhi walks with his wife Kasturba Gandhi and a few other people, across a field towards a hospital building. In next scene, Gandhi stands in a rail car being interviewed. Then, in a formal public interview inside an auditorium, he is heard speaking and describes himself as a "soldier of peace." Glimpse of Gandhi seated outdoors under a canopy of nationalist flags, in 1932. Scene shifts back,again, to the rail car interview, where he is being seen off by well-wishers. He is then seen in a hospital where he is asked about his notions of eliminating the Indian caste system. (Film ends before any reply.)
Japanese General Baron Sadao Araki speaks, and animated maps show danger of attacks on Japan and its occupied territories.
Film opens with closeup of Japanese general, Baron Sadao Araki, speaking. Behind him is a huge Japanese flag so that his head is silhouetted against its huge red ball. His image fades out and a map of Japan and Asia appears. Sadao Araki continues to narrate. The map shows animated arrows directed from Russia southward toward Japanese held Manchuria (Manchukuo) and from India northward. The arrows converge and are joined by arrows from the sea. All are directed against Japan. The message clearly speaks to need for Japan to be ready to protect against attacks by others. Back to closeup of Baron Sadao Araki speaking. Then flags of world nations are shown with Japan's rising taller and larger than all the rest. Next a map of Japan and its occupied territories in Manchukuo, and Korea, with arrows from foes threatening them. Japan seems to shudder on the animated map.
