Synopsis

In 632 AD, the Chinese monk Xuanzang encountered the remarkable statues of the Buddha in the Bamiyan Valley of Afghanistan. In 2008, children living in the valley shared the myths and legends surrounding the tragic fate of these statues, which were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
