Synopsis

Clarence Darrow was an American lawyer and civil libertarian known for his work in high-profile legal cases. He was born on April 18, 1857, in Kinsman, Ohio, and became one of the most prominent defense attorneys of the early 20th century. Darrow was a co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in 1920 and served as a key figure in the organization's early years. He gained national attention for his defense of John T. Scopes in the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial," in which he challenged the teaching of evolution being banned in Tennessee schools. Darrow was also involved in labor rights cases and defended individuals accused of crimes during periods of social unrest. He died on March 13, 1938, in Chicago, Illinois.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
