Final Solution
Australian Premiere
Rakesh Sharma, India 2003
This rigorous and at times distressing documentary is a study in both the politics of hate and the sort of terrorism that doesn't get enough attention in Western media. Set in Gujarat during the period from February 2002 to July 2003, the film examines the aftermath of the full-scale genocide of Muslims, which many claim was state-supported, that followed the burning of 58 Hindus at Godhra. It then records in detail the exploitation of the Godhra incident by the right-wing propaganda machinery for electoral gains.
