Synopsis

This film examines the very real threat of the electrical grid going down either from natural or human causes. All civilization is based on the electrical grid and without it eight out of ten people would not survive a long term loss of electricity. There are ways to prevent this, but neither the government or power companies seem interested in it.

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.
