Synopsis

This mock documentary employs archival footage, out-of-context interviews, and staged reports to explore a hypothetical escalation toward nuclear war. The film presents rising tensions in East Germany, where a visit by Gorbachev sparks an uprising that leads to a successful military coup in the USSR. Western responses to the brutal crackdowns on civilians further heighten hostilities between the superpowers, ultimately culminating in nuclear war.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
