Synopsis

A study of the economic relationship between developing countries and industrialized nations, developed using the example of an agricultural cooperative in Upper Volta. Beans are grown on huge monocultures for the European market, largely displacing the cultivation of urgently needed staple foods. The critical essence of the film is largely weakened by confusing dramatic effects and overly simplistic symbolism.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
