Synopsis

In May of 2022 on the James Taylor Justice Coalition's second Justice Day event, participants collected a sample of soil from the site where Mr. Taylor was hanged. With money raised from individuals and organizations in our community a busload of over 50 youth and adults left Chestertown, MD in the wee hours of August 25 to transport the soil sample to the Legacy Museum in Montgomery. The trip included visits to important civil rights sites in Birmingham, Selma, Montgomery and Atlanta. Participants were confronted with a reality not often taught or talked about, and subsequently witnessed, processed, and transformed their perspectives on both Black History in the USA of the past, and the African American Experience of today. Get on the Bus is a film about this trip.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
