120 BPM (Beats Per Minute)
A passionate group of ACT UP Paris activists in the 1990s risks everything to fight pharmaceutical greed and find a cure for AIDS, as time runs out and tensions rise.
Synopsis
In the early 1990s in Paris, a group of young activists becomes deeply involved in the search for a cure for an unknown and deadly disease. Frustrated by pharmaceutical companies' secrecy, they focus their efforts on laboratories believed to be withholding potential treatments. Through a series of direct actions, they seek to expose these companies and, in doing so, save both their own lives and those of future generations.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.
