A half-hour video on the life of Badshah Khan, "the frontier Gandhi." Badsha Khan, a Muslim, led an unarmed army of 100,000 men in nonviolent resistance to the British and then to the government of Pakistan. A dear friend of Gandhi's, he is a man of equal stature whose story is being lost. While the video doesn't quite capture the power of the man, his legacy is important and this is the best available.
