Synopsis

Dan Drasin's documentary short, filmed in a single afternoon in 1961, is frequently regarded as the first major social protest film of the Sixties. At the age of 19, Drasin and his friends joined folk singers and demonstrators in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village to protest the revocation of a standing permit allowing gatherings and singing in the park on Sundays. The event marked an early emergence of the political, racial, and cultural tensions that would come to define the decade.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
