Final Solution is a 2001 film set in South Africa based on the real-life stories of Gerrit Wolfaardt and Moses Moremi, with themes of morality, tolerance, and forgiveness. Written and directed by Cristóbal Krusen, the title of the film comes from the Nazi Final Solution which was the inspiration of a plan with an apartheid motive in the film.

Krusen said that the idea for making a film in South Africa first came to him in 1988 during the filming of Ropa Nueva para Felipe in Mexico. He made numerous trips to South Africa during the 1990s to observe firsthand race relations in the country and seek material for a story that would demonstrate radical transformation from hatred to love between former enemies.
