The quote ("If you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.") is a line that is spoken by Gandhi (played by Ben Kingsley) in the movie "Gandhi", directed by Richard Attenborough (1982).

This acclaimed biographical drama presents major events in the life of Mohandas Gandhi (Kingsley). This man was the beloved Indian leader who stood against British rule over his country. Dedicated to the concept of nonviolent resistance, Gandhi is initially dismissed by English officials, including the influential Lord Irwin (John Gielgud). Eventually, Gandhi and his cause becomes internationally renowned. His gatherings in a passive protest movement move India towards independence.
