Synopsis

Francis Vanverberghe, also known as "Francis le Belge," was killed in September 2000 in a bar on the Champs Elysées. A figure from the era of the French Connection, his death marked a turning point for French organized crime. Vanverberghe was a pimp, a drug smuggler, and a complex individual who put his life and the lives of others at risk daily until his final day. Through the perspective of his daughter, the film explores the man behind the legend. It offers a female viewpoint into a world typically inaccessible to women.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

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.
