Synopsis

In July 2010, Laurent Fignon, the renowned cycling legend, provided commentary on the Tour de France. Despite having incurable cancer, the two-time 1980s Tour winner followed the race day by day as a reporter. His doctor accompanied him during the tour to provide medical treatment. Initially meeting with mutual disdain, the two men gradually developed greater understanding for each other as the race progressed. For Laurent, completing the tour symbolized affirming life, even though the demands of broadcasting reduced the likelihood of a successful life-prolonging therapy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
