Shot Up & Shot Down

Directed by

Documentary

Synopsis

Shot Up & Shot Down is the story of three World War II US fliers who were shot down and captured by the Nazis. Irwin Stovroff, Charlie Meadow and Abe Wilen tell their stories of flying B17 Flying Forts and B24 Liberators, bailing out over occupied Europe and struggling to survive the war. Each veteran tells insightful, detailed tales of the war, which serves as a counterweight to special effects laden ""docs"" that overlook the men themselves.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
