Synopsis

In her documentary, director Eva Wolf accompanies police officers at a Münster police station for many months at work. The filmmaker asked herself what the officers' day-to-day work is like away from scandals during operations or right-wing extremist group chats. She not only documents their work assignments, which can be exciting and dangerous as well as boring and quite funny at times. The officers themselves also take viewers to the places where the first cracks appear in society. Eva Wolf wants to find out what the challenging work does to the officers and why they chose to work for the police.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
