Synopsis

Based on Truman Capote's story "In Cold Blood," the film provides a glimpse into the world of prison convicts. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that within the prison, much like the outside world, there exists a "system," along with the same elements that shape society—accommodation, honesty, cynicism, and violence. The film centers on three newcomers and documents the grim, terrifying, and at times fascinating events that take place.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
