Synopsis

The crossed visions of illegal aliens who left everything behind in search of a better life in the West, and who now almost regret being here, and those who are ready, in Africa, to follow their example and risk their life to cross the seas. Following back and forth the immigrants from Mali and the coast of Senegal to workers' suburbs around Paris, the film shows the hidden face of these shadow workers, the neglected dimension of people so close so far, our brothers beyond borders drawn by men.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
