Synopsis

Documentarian Steven Lipscomb explores an intense rivalry between two divergent factions of Southern Baptists. The more conservative Christians, who oppose the idea of women becoming religious leaders, find themselves at odds with the more progressive group, who want to see females leading services. Lipscomb interviews those on both side of the debate, including his own mother, who hopes to maintain a longstanding family tradition by becoming a Baptist pastor herself.

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.
