The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
A spirited writer travels to post‑war Guernsey to chronicle a quirky literary club, only to confront the lingering shadows of occupation and decide whether love and truth are worth exposing.
Synopsis
Juliet Ashton, a free-spirited writer, forms a life-changing connection with the charming and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. She decides to write about the book club, which was formed during the German occupation of Guernsey in World War II.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 26
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.
