Synopsis

"Operation Christ" is the codename given by the Romanian authorities to a police and military operation initiated by them, against the MISA yoga spiritual movement and their mentor Gregorian Bivolaru. He began practicing yoga in 1969, studied oriental teachings of wisdom by Mircea Eliade, Ramakrishna, Shivananda and Yogananda, and was teaching practical yoga in Bucharest in 1978. During the Romanian communist regime Bivolaru was kept under observation by Securitate, the Department of State Security, because practicing and teaching yoga was prohibited in Romania at that time. After the collapse of the communist regime and the execution of Nicolae Ceausescu in Dec. 1989, Bivolaru immediately founded MISA in Bucharest.

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.
