The documentary consists mostly of interviews with both Muslims and Hindus, of multiple generations and both sexes, with different views regarding the causes, justifications, and the actual events of the violence that occurred, as well as their prospects for the future.
The film reconstructs through eyewitness accounts the attack on Gulbarg and Patiya (Ahmedabad) and acts of barbaric violence against Muslim women at Eral and Delol/Kalol (Panchmahals) even as Chief Minister Modi traverses the state on his Gaurav Yatra Part 2 : The Hate Mandate documents the poll campaign during the Assembly elections in Gujarat in late 2002.
The film studies and documents the situation months after the elections to find shocking faultlines – voluntary ghettoisation, segregation in schools, formal calls for economic boycott of Muslims and continuing acts of violence.
[citation needed] The movie was initially banned in India in 2004 for alleged fears that massive communalism and radicalism would be ignited by the film.
Final Solution was offered free to Anhad for their campaigns; it was included in their anthology titled "In defence of our dreams".
