Michael Jordan, Above and Beyond

Runtime
54 min
Documentary

Synopsis

"Michael Jordan Above and Beyond" provides a much-needed look at Michael Jordan's return from retirement in 1995. The first 20 minutes or so recap his retirement, his attempt at minor league baseball, and his dealing with his father's murder. It picks up when it starts looking at the frenzy surrounding his return to the NBA in the Spring of 1995. It covers his first game back against the Pacers, his Friday night Chicago return against the Magic, and his subsequent return to form with a game-winning shot against Atlanta, and a career night with 55 points against the Knicks.

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.
