Final Solution is a study of the politics of hate. Set in Gujarat during
the period February/March 2002 - July 2003, the film examines the
genocidal violence of the Hindutva right-wing by exploiting the Godhra
train incident and then goes on to document the various acts of
brutality that marked the violence that followed. It travels with the
election campaign during the Assembly elections in Gujarat in late 2002,
and documents the spread of hate and fascism that accompanied it. It
traces the process of ghettoization and the calls for economic boycott
of Muslims.


Admission is free and seating will be on a first-come, first-serve
basis. For further information, please contact Carrie Heitmeyer at
