Smolensk
A tenacious journalist refuses to accept the official story of a tragic plane crash and launches her own investigation, racing against entrenched authorities to uncover the hidden truth before it’s buried forever.
Synopsis
Inspired by the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash in Smolensk, the film presents a partially fictionalized account of the crash and its impact on various individuals. The protagonist is a journalist named Nina, who does not accept the official explanation and conducts her own independent investigation.

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.
