Synopsis

A school teacher is assigned to Bhutan's remotest school. Midway into his session he is told that the school has to be closed as the inhabitants leave the valley to escape the winter. One of the best documentaries from Bhutan and the first one to win several international awards in Japan, South Korea, Netherlands and Switzerland, School Among Glaciers is truly a masterpiece.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
