Coogan's Way

Documentary

Synopsis

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, NYC's Washington Heights neighborhood was considered the epicenter of America's crack cocaine epidemic. Amid gang wars, street riots and growing tensions between citizens and police - the community needed a safe space, a political hub, a cultural center and a home-away-from-home. Coogan's Way is the story of how a small bar and restaurant that welcomed all races, religions and interests became a force for good in their community. And how decades later, when the owners were faced with the challenges of a rapidly-changing NYC real estate market, their diverse and dynamic clientele fought for this beloved institution.

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.
