Synopsis

In the 1950s, La Reunion families were sent to cultivate land in the Sakay region in Madagascar. After having farmed for 23 years, they were expelled in 1975 following the Malagasy revolution. The French authorities propose to them to reiterate the experience in Guyana. Some are embarking on this new life of pioneers, despite the climate and size of forests. In the heart of these landscapes in the four corners of the France of Overseas, they tell us their journey and their attachment to the land, whether Malagasy, French or Guyanese.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
