Synopsis

Following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, rumors spread widely in America about the size and capabilities of Japan's armed forces and its readiness to wage war against the United States. In the first part of this film, animation is used to counter these rumors by demonstrating that the U.S. possessed greater quantities of raw materials and a larger fleet of fighting ships. The narrator also warns viewers against spreading rumors—often started by enemy infiltrators to incite fear and division—and urges them not to believe everything they read in the newspapers. Just because "they say" something, the film emphasizes, does not make it true.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
