Synopsis

Training her lens on the plight of children affected by Hurricane Katrina, filmmaker Laura Belsey profiles 19 kids whose lives were torn asunder in 2005 when one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history hit the Southern coast. Shot three years after the storm, the film explores the children's memories about surviving the experience and also shadows them and their families as they work to rebuild their lives.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
