Synopsis

Like Steinbeck's 'Grapes Of Wrath,' 'Searching For Safe Ground' chronicles the struggles of a small group homeless people in Sacramento, California fighting for the right to sleep while America and the world swirl in the tornadic strife of the Great Recession. Meet the homeless, citizens just like you and me, who lost their jobs and homes and try to rebuild their lives from a backpack, rolling cart and a tent. Are they all drunks? Druggies? Lazy? Worthless? 'Searching For Safe Ground' challenges the stereotypes as homeless people unite in community to fight for their human right to shelter themselves when there homes are gone.

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.
