Final Solution (2004 film) (original) (raw)

Final Solution is a 2004 documentary film directed by Rakesh Sharma concerning the 2002 Gujarat riots in the state of Gujarat in which 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims lost lives. Hindu right wing organizations were supposedly blamed for these riots, who claimed that their actions were in fact a "spontaneous response" to the massacre of 70 Hindu Pilgrims in Godhra Train Burning incident by a Muslim mob on 27 February 2002. But as the film proceeds with victims continuing to come forward and share their experiences, a more unsettling possibility seems to emerge- that far from being a spontaneous expression of outrage. The makers of the film claim that the violence had been carefully coordinated and planned.
