Synopsis

Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, examines the brutal blinding of six horses with a metal spike that occurred in a stable in Hampshire, England. The act was carried out by Alan Strang, a seventeen-year-old stable boy and the only son of an opinionated yet timid father and a refined, religious mother. As Dysart uncovers the reasons behind the boy's actions, he confronts his own personal demons.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
