Synopsis

We meet the charismatic Pedro Opeka, who in 1989 stepped into a huge dump in the Malagasy capital of Antananarivo, and saw thousands of adults and children living mixed with dogs and pigs and living in appalling conditions. This shook him to the core, and with incredible efforts, perseverance and complete dedication to the poorest, together with his colleagues in the movement, helped thousands of homeless people and garbage collectors to return to life. More than 23,000 of them now live in well-organized settlements with new houses, schools, playgrounds and medical care.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
