Synopsis

During the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam, Otto Frank chooses to hide his Jewish family after his daughter Margot receives a notice compelling her to report for transport to a Nazi labor camp. Miep Gies, Otto Frank's office assistant, helps conceal them in a hidden annex above the office. The film chronicles the true story of Gies' efforts to keep the family hidden and protected as the Nazis intensify their presence in Amsterdam. It is based on Gies' memoirs and Anne Frank's well-known diary.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
