Dynasty: The Nehru-Gandhi Story: Part 1 - Awakening

Documentary on the four generations of the Nehru family involved in the emergence of independent India. On August 14, 1947, India won independence after 200 years of British rule, largely due to the efforts of three Hindu nationalists. Mahatma Gandhi was the spiritual leader and Jawaharlal Nehru, son of Motilal Nehru, was to be the elected political monarch. The next two generations of Nehrus, Indira and her two sons, continued the reign through 1991, when son Rajiv was assassinated by terrorists.
