Synopsis

The film offers an inside look at the Vatican, showcasing areas rarely seen by the public, including the ancient "City of the Dead" beneath St. Peter's Basilica, the vaults of the Secret Archives, and the Pope's private offices and television room. It also examines the complex and often turbulent relationship between the Vatican and the United States, revealing historical documents dating back to the Civil War and exploring the collaboration between Reagan and Pope John Paul II during the Cold War as they worked to counter the influence of the Soviet Union.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
