Belarus: An Ordinary Dictatorship

Directed by

Documentary

Synopsis

Belarus remains the last dictatorship in Europe, trapped in a Soviet-era time-warp, where the secret police is still known as the KGB and the president governs through fear. Disappearances, political assassinations, waves of repression, and mass arrests are common occurrences. While half of the country moves closer to Russia, the other half is striving to resist.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
