Runtime
82 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Midwives from around the world travel to Mexico and Brazil summoned by Naolí, a Mexican midwife, in order to learn further and make of their profession an art; just as mothers and fathers in the process of giving birth, they simultaneously open up their bodies and souls to share with us the feminine nature. The First Smile is an emotive work which recovers ancestral knowledge, that shouldn’t have been forgotten.

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.
