Synopsis

Laxmi Agarwal, a human rights activist and survivor of acid violence, is central to *The Newborns*, a film that explores the meaning of memory and loss through her perspective. The film examines what acid violence signifies to survivors and to those around them, and how these two world-views interact. It considers the meanings of concepts such as 'fear,' 'power,' 'innocence,' and 'beauty.' Through the survivors' experiences, the film offers a lens to look forward and gaze back, depicting their daily lives in a nameless dystopian city. The film takes viewers through the ennui of their domestic and public spaces, including factories, houses, and motels, highlighting the unfulfilled promises of the environment they inhabit.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
