Synopsis

After the slums of Paris were engulfed in flames due to a serious of riots, the government inaugurated a plan which provided funding to non-profits that worked in the neighborhoods. The goal behind the plan was to develop programming to better occupy the 'kids of the projects'. Mathieu and Romuald received funding to expand 'Quartier TV' : a local television station based out of the community center in the Mines neighborhood outside of Paris. A dynamic and eclectic team forms: Nadia, a young radical journalist; Farid, an archaeology student; Souleymane, a promising young host; and the seductive Leila, a high school cinema intern. As they create various and original television programs, disagreements progressively arise between the members.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
