Synopsis

This site features the latest news and theories surrounding the 120-year-old global effort to identify the individual known as Jack the Ripper, who was responsible for the murders of five common prostitutes in the impoverished Whitechapel district of London's East End between 31 August 1888 and 9 November 1888. It explores whether the killer's identity might one day be uncovered through DNA or other as-yet-unrevealed evidence.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
