Synopsis

The Iron Digger is the story of a Jelbang village in Rolpa district. Jelbang was considered a commercial centre of mountain iron around 2046 BS. However, now the iron mine is closed. After the Nepal government closed the mines, the family of 84-year-old Raj Bahadur Budha Magar, who had been working in iron mines since the age of 10, became unemployed and some disappeared abroad in search of employment, while others were killed in civil war. The film shows the impact on the lives of villagers like Raj Bahadur Budha’s family after the closure of Jelbang’s iron ore mine.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
