Synopsis

*L’Emprise* is a drama adapted from the true story detailed in the book *Acquitted* by Alexandra Lange. It follows the case of a mother of four children who stood trial in March 2012 in Douai for the murder of her husband. The film explores the circumstances that led a woman to kill the father of her children with a knife. Over the course of three days of trial, the gripping narrative delves into the daily life of Alexandra, a mother who was failed by society in protecting herself and her children from the control of a man she once loved. The film, inspired by a real event that caused public outrage, raises questions about the fairness of the justice system. Will her voice be heard?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
