Iman's Boat

Runtime
60 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Iman, an Iranian refugee who fled fearing for his life, arrives on the refugee-filled Greek island of Lesbos. There, he joins as a theater teacher at a school for refugees established by a group of young Israelis. The children soothe his scarred soul, and he becomes a source of hope and security for them. Together, they create a theater performance that depicts the refugee experience. But just when Iman feels he has found true refuge, the situation on the island escalates and reaches a climax when fascists burn the school to the ground. Iman must decide whether to surrender to the external and internal pressures that threaten him or whether he can find the strength to continue and provide the children with the shelter and hope they desperately need.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
