2000 Mules

They thought we’d never find out. They were wrong.

Runtime
86 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Dinesh D’Souza, a bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker, presents an account of widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election in his film *2000 Mules*, suggesting the fraud was sufficient to alter the overall outcome. The film draws on research from the election integrity group True the Vote and presents two forms of evidence: geotracking and video. The geotracking evidence, based on a database of ten trillion cell phone pings, reveals what the film describes as an elaborate network of professional operatives, referred to as "mules," delivering fraudulent votes to mail-in ballot boxes in five key states that determined the election's result. Video footage obtained from official surveillance cameras is presented as corroborating the cellular positioning data. The film concludes with a discussion of potential measures to prevent election fraud in future democratic elections.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
