Synopsis

This revolutionary epic draws a parallel between the push for industrialization in Soviet Ukraine and the battle for Perekop during the Civil War. A missing plow blade serves as a symbol of the country's backward peasant economy, which is in need of transformation as part of the industrial development process. Through a rapid succession of images, the Ukrainian village, populated by peasants skeptical of all new changes, dramatically contrasts with the intense activity of factories, plants, and mines.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
