Alice's Restaurant
“Every Generation Has A Story To Tell.”
Synopsis
After being expelled from college, Arlo travels to his friend Alice’s home for Thanksgiving dinner. Following the meal, he offers to take the trash to the dump, discovers it closed for the holiday, and instead discards the waste at the bottom of a ravine. The littering results in his arrest and initiates an unusual series of events.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 40
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
