Synopsis

On 15 May 2006, double amputee Mark Inglis reached the summit of Mt Everest. It was a significant achievement and Inglis received attention from both the press and the public. However, only a few days later, he became embroiled in controversy when it was revealed that he had passed an incapacitated climber, Englishman David Sharp, leaving him to die alone in the high-altitude Death Zone.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
