Drain the Great Lakes
Synopsis
North America's Great Lakes form the largest system of free-flowing freshwater on Earth and have a significant influence on the continent. Over 34 million people reside along their shores, in some of the world's most prominent cities. This television program explores the lakes in an innovative way, using computer-generated imagery to uncover the hidden aspects of their human history and evolving geological past.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 13
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.
