Synopsis

In 1989, *Caroline Meagher* is a sergeant in the Royal Military Police with 12 years of experience, stationed in Northern Ireland. She is subjected to a four-day interrogation by two officers from internal affairs after being accused of being a lesbian, a charge that could result in a court martial. Through a series of flashbacks, the film portrays her initial enthusiasm upon joining the force, her various assignments—including investigating suspected lesbians—and her gradual realization of her own sexual identity. Like others in similar situations, she must take significant measures to avoid detection. The film concludes with Meagher commenting on camera.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
