Synopsis

A grieving family, whose daughter was killed in a car crash involving a drunken driver, becomes increasingly frustrated by the bureaucratic delays in moving the case toward trial. Once the case reaches the courtroom, they are shocked to see the young, overburdened district attorney struggle to counter the defense's use of technicalities and legal tactics aimed at keeping the driver free and licensed to drive. As the judge repeatedly sides with the defense, it appears the driver may avoid punishment entirely.

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.
