Alone in Berlin
“The truth was their resistance.”
Synopsis
Set in Berlin in June 1940, the story unfolds as Nazi propaganda touts the regime’s victory over France. In a kitchen-cum-living room in Prenzlauer Berg, Anna and Otto Quangel mourn the death of their son at the front. The working-class couple had long supported the "Führer" and followed him willingly, but now they recognize that his promises are based on lies and deceit. As a form of resistance and to raise awareness, they begin writing postcards urging: "Stop the war machine! Kill Hitler!" Risking their lives, they distribute these cards in the entrances of tenement buildings and in stairwells. However, the SS and the Gestapo soon become aware of their actions, and even their neighbors pose a threat.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 25
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.
