Attenborough's Life That Glows

Directed by
Runtime
59 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Luminous beings, creatures that emit their own internal light, captivate and amaze. Anyone who has observed a firefly or a glow-worm is inevitably drawn into their allure. At night, the ocean shimmers as millions of bioluminescent plankton outline the forms of dolphins in a breathtaking display. Sir David Attenborough and a team of leading scientists and deep-sea explorers embark on a journey to uncover the mysteries of these living lights.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
