Synopsis

Jody is granted joint custody of her daughter Samantha by the court, despite allegations of child sexual abuse against her ex-husband Marcus. Faced with the decision to hand Samantha over to Marcus or flee with her and risk being charged with kidnapping, Jody chooses the latter. As a result, she and Samantha become the targets of both the FBI and a private detective. With the assistance of an underground network designed to help women and children escape abusive situations, they move from town to town to avoid capture. The story is based on a true event.

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.
