Synopsis

At the age of 17, Griselda Blanco moved to the U.S. using a fake passport and married her first husband, Carlos. Settling in Queens with her three sons, she became interested in the financial opportunities of the drug trade and soon became involved with local drug traffickers. Griselda orchestrated the use of attractive women, the elderly, and children as mules, and developed false-bottom suitcases to smuggle cocaine from Colombia.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
