Children of Internment
Synopsis
Thousands of German families were interned by the United States during World War II. They were taken from their homes and schools, denied "due process" and imprisoned in 200+ detention camps throughout the United States and Latin America. "Children of Internment" tells their riveting story using live interviews with those who were interned, family photographs and historical footage.

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.
