Delta Jews

Directed by
DocumentaryHistory

Synopsis

The Mississippi Delta -- known for blues, catfish and much more -- may not seem like the most obvious setting for a long-standing Jewish population, but for more than a century, this community has thrived, forging a unique American identity. This engaging documentary explores the Delta Jews, who struggle to hand down age-old Jewish traditions in the heavily Christian stronghold that they call home.

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.
