The real story of prehistoric man's fight for survival

Synopsis

10,000 B.C. was a period of dramatic transformation on Earth. Severe climatic shifts pushed the planet into a minor ice age; large animals such as the saber-toothed tiger and woolly mammoth began to go extinct; and early humans started to settle in North America. Struggling with cold and hunger, their fragile communities embarked on dangerous hunting trips. Killing a single mammoth, which could weigh nearly ten tons, often meant the difference between survival and death. *Journey to 10,000 BC* brings this remarkable and intense era to life, exploring the geological and climate changes that scientists are only beginning to understand. In a major forensic investigation, History revisits early human archaeological sites to examine fossilized bones, ancient dwellings, and stone weapons, using advanced CGI to reconstruct perilous mammoth hunts and the catastrophic effects of a comet striking Earth.

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.
