Prague: Iron Curtain
Synopsis
In September 1989, an increasing number of GDR citizens sought refuge at the West German embassy in Prague. Among them were Stefan and Bettina, who were on their honeymoon in Czechoslovakia. When Stefan temporarily returns to the GDR to retrieve their young son, he also brings along their friends Karin and Thomas. The flow of refugees shows no sign of slowing, and the embassy is overwhelmed by the number of people desperate to leave. Despite intense behind-the-scenes negotiations, no political resolution appears imminent. The situation in the embassy garden grows increasingly tense, with a humanitarian crisis looming.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
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.
