A documentary on Mahatma Gandhi containing "rarest of the rare" video footages,including Bapu's first interview to a foreign
journalist, has been digitised and will be availaible for public viewing soon.
"Mahatma Gandhi - 20th Century Prophet", an1941 documentary made by travelogue writer and journalist A K Chettiar has been digitised with the help of the National Gandhi Museum
here.
The Museum plans to screen the 81-minute long film across various media platforms.
"The film first screened on August 15 1947 reportedly went "untraceable" in 1959," says A
Annamalai, Director National Gandhi Museum.
The film, however was available in its original15-MM format at a few places but could not be screened often because technical
specifications had became outdated says Annamalai.
Chettiar had travelled more than one lakh kilometres within India and across countries to collect all the video archives and picturesof
Gandhi to create the original documentary. The effort took him over three years.
