Synopsis

In the United States, violent crime within prisons is a common occurrence, with inmates frequently subjected to assault, riots, rape, and murder. *Anatomy of a Prison Murder* explores the culture of institutional violence through the events leading up to a particularly brutal prison murder. Surveillance footage from Utah State Prison documents this unsettling real-life account of the violent stabbing of Black inmate Lonnie Blackmon by white supremacist Troy Kell, a convicted murderer, and his accomplice Eric Daniels.

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.
