Synopsis

The Hospital Colonia de Barbacena (Barbacena Colony Hospital), Brazil's largest mental institution, which has been compared to the concentration camps of Auschwitz, opened its gates to a production crew during the country's dictatorship era. This short documentary shows how mental patients were treated within the institution and how individuals could be interned there without any reasonable cause.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
