Product Description
The Final Inch is a film from Vermilion Pictures, in association with Google.org, about the historic global effort to eradicate polio. Here, the story told is as much about the messengers as the message. You’ll meet Munzareen Fatima, one of the thousands of community “foot soldiers” across India working to sway reluctant families to vaccinate their children, and Dr. Ashfaq Bhat, who travels into the backwaters of India’s Ganges Basin by boat and foot to detect emerging cases of polio. Mikail Davenport and the late Martha Mason bring us into their lives and describe the paralyzing challenges of childhood polio, reminding us how endemic polio once was in the United States. The Final Inch was nominated for Best Documentary (Short Subject) at the 2008 Academy Awards held in March 2009. Google.org will donate $2 toward polio eradication for every copy of The Final Inch purchased before December 31, 2009.

The DVD is captioned with subtitles in 19 languages: English, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Swedish, Simple Chinese, Arabic, Italian, and Korean.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com’s standard return policy will apply.

Highly recommend,

By Regina Rodriguez-Martin “reginamrm” (Chicago, IL USA) -

Few Americans have any real idea of the conditions of life in parts of India and this film gives an excellent view of the challenges of life in the slums, especially regarding health and sanitation. You see polio vaccination volunteers, Rotary members and health workers plodding through garbage, crossing rivers and facing extreme suspicion and prejudice as they try to reach every child. Once they reach a family, we see them labor to convince the parents that they are not there to hurt their baby, but to prevent it from getting polio, a disease that can cripple and kill. Yes, polio still exists in the world and ruins thousands of lives a year. It really opened my eyes and I can’t recommend this film enough.
