Synopsis

In March 2011, a young British pilot, David Simpson, was arrested for mass murder in Africa. David was born and brought up in the idyllic village of Gillamoor, but he didn't want to take over the family pheasant farm, so he landed a job with an exclusive safari company in the Central African Republic (CAR). CAR has endured decades of unrest, and armed rebel groups roam the country, but for David, working in one of the world's last remaining wildernesses was a dream come true. However, as he opened up the bush for big game hunters, relations between the safari company and the local population became increasingly hostile. Villagers used the new roads to access rivers deep in the bush and start illegal gold mines. After a number of escalating confrontations between David and the miners, 13 men were found massacred at a gold mine.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
