Final Solution, produced by Messenger Films, is the true story of Gerrit Wolfaardt, a white South African, who has set his heart on making peace between blacks and whites in his troubled country.
Gerrit's intentions were far from noble in his youth. He was indoctrinated with prejudice from a young age: his family traditions, history, culture - even his church - all taught him that black South Africans were a cancer in the land. Under the eye of prominent members of the government and military, Gerrit (played by Jan Ellis) developed a diabolical plan to rid South Africa of its "black danger". Before his plans could be carried out, he met two people who put him on a collision course with his future: Celeste (Liezel van der Merwe), an open-minded university student, and Peter Lekota (John Kani), a pastor who challenges Gerrit's prejudice.
His "final solution" met its greatest obstacle when Gerrit himself realized he was wrong. The Persecutor became the Peacemaker and began to seek reconciliation between whites and blacks. However, in the turbulent last days of apartheid, there were those who doubted his transformation. One such person was Moses Moremi (Mpho Lovinga), whom Gerrit had once violently attacked. In the film's dramatic conclusion, it is Moses who must choose between peace and bloodshed. Based on a true story, this remarkable film features an exceptional international cast, including Tony AwardŽ winner John Kani.
