Driven: The Billy Monger Story

Runtime
59 min
Documentary

Synopsis

The documentary follows the remarkable journey of 18-year-old British racing driver Billy Monger, who in April 2017 suffered a severe crash that resulted in the amputation of both his legs. Determined to return to racing, Billy set out to become the first amputee to compete in a single-seater racing car. The film chronicles his efforts, alongside those of his family, as he works toward the goal of racing in Formula One. With support from the motorsport community and his idol Lewis Hamilton, Monger seeks to change racing regulations and relearn how to drive without the use of his legs, while also navigating the challenges of life with a disability, a term he is hesitant to embrace. The film highlights Billy's determination and the strong support provided by his family during this difficult period.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
