Synopsis

This documentary features interviews with five former American soldiers who were present during the March 16, 1968 attack on the village of My Lai in the Vietnam War. The soldiers discuss the orders they received prior to the attack, their expectations regarding what might be found in the village, and the events that followed, including the massacre of the civilian population and the destruction of the village. The interviews also explore possible motivations behind the killings and rapes that occurred. The film was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2002.

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.
