Synopsis

This film presents a portrait of a tough cop with a big heart. Sergeant Bernie "Whistling" Smith patrols Vancouver's Eastside, an area frequented by petty criminals, down-and-outs, and a range of colorful characters. His approach to policing is unconventional. To many drug users, petty thieves, and prostitutes in this economically depressed neighborhood, he is not only a firm enforcer of the law but also a counselor and a friend.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
