The Final Inch tells the story of the challenges faced by Rotary, and its partners, during the final stages of polio eradication. The 38-minute film was directed and produced by Irene Taylor Brodshy and commissioned by the philanthropic division of Google.
Filmed in 2007, The Final Inch captures workers immunizing children in the slums in India and Pakistan and includes several scenes of Rotarians participating in the National Immunization Day on 22 April in India. NID volunteers, led by M.S. Jain, past governor of District 3100, administered polio vaccination drops to children in Meerut Samrat, Uttar Pradesh, India.
This short subject documentary was nominated on January 22 for an Academy Award and it will be shown on HBO in early April. For a preview of the film go to http://www.thefinalinch.org/. For additional information go to http://www.rotary.org/en/MediaAndNews/News/Pages/090126_news_finalinchfilm.aspx.
