Synopsis

Holly Hunter portrays a lonely, single, poorly educated woman from Texas who becomes pregnant and faces the challenge of supporting a child without the necessary means. To avoid giving up the child for adoption, she seeks an abortion. Unable to obtain one in Texas, she hires an inexperienced lawyer to argue her case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Ultimately, the law is changed, but for the character, the process takes longer than nine months.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
