Final Inch, The

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.
