Synopsis

The Youth International Party, commonly known as the Yippies, was a youth-oriented, countercultural group that opposed war and the prevailing norms of American society. The Yippies were known for using theatrical and humorous methods to promote social change, and several members became prominent figures in the Chicago 7 trial. The film primarily features footage from the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, an event that triggered large-scale protests met with violent and chaotic responses from law enforcement. The film also incorporates found newsreel footage and includes Pigasus, the pig the Yippies presented as a presidential candidate for the United States.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
