Synopsis

In this one-off documentary, David Malone examines four brilliant mathematicians—Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel, and Alan Turing—whose genius has profoundly influenced the modern world, yet ultimately led to their mental breakdowns and suicides. The film also features contemporary thinkers who continue to explore the question of whether there are limits to what mathematics and the human mind can understand. *Dangerous Knowledge* addresses fundamental questions about the nature of reality that remain central to mathematical inquiry today.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
