Synopsis

An Inuit hunter leads his dog team across the frozen Arctic Ocean in search of seals, but instead encounters a murder. In the tightly knit communities of Arctic Alaska, anonymity is rare — the hunter recognizes both the victim and the murderer. The murderer, asserting self-defense and fearing consequences, pleads with his friend to ignore what he has witnessed and assist in hiding the body. The hunter must grapple with the difficult moral choice of respecting the body and memory of one friend while potentially ruining the life of another.

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.
