Synopsis

In Saint-Louis Cathedral in La Rochelle, a chapel adorned with merchant marine ex-votos contains a painting that commemorates the tragedy of *The Saphir* in 1741. The schooner was stranded for days in inter-tropical waters, carrying 271 enslaved individuals and 30 crew members aboard. The painting serves as a hidden gateway within the cathedral, offering a glimpse into a broader historical narrative.

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.
