Synopsis

Oshin is born into a poor family of rice farmers. Her father and brother work in the fields, while her grandmother and mother, who is pregnant, struggle to get by. To help support her family, 7-year-old Oshin leaves school and takes a position as a servant in the home of a wealthy family, where she encounters hardships far worse than she had imagined.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
