Synopsis

In the early 1980s, Martin Siedler, a successful press officer for a leading pharmaceutical company, believes he has the trust of his boss, Walter Lange. However, he soon discovers that the company's so-called miracle drug, which he is promoting, poses a deadly risk. This is confirmed by a secret internal study that his boss is also aware of. Martin must now decide how to handle this explosive information. What are the risks of going public with it? And how strong is one's conscience in the face of such a dilemma? This drama, based on real events, chronicles one of the biggest medical scandals in German history.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
