Synopsis

This drama is based on the real-life events of April 1989, when ninety-six Liverpool fans were crushed to death during an F.A. Cup Semi-Final match against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium, home to Sheffield Wednesday. The film follows three families from Liverpool in the days leading up to the match, during the tragedy itself, and through the subsequent court proceedings that sought to determine responsibility and uncover what had gone wrong.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
