Synopsis

Mamma Roma, a middle-aged woman who has spent years working as a prostitute in her Italian village, has saved enough money to purchase a fruit stand, aiming to build a respectable middle-class life. She also hopes to reconnect with her 16-year-old son, whom she abandoned when he was an infant. However, her former pimp threatens to reveal her past, and her son appears to be heading toward a life of crime and violence.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
