Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of three continents, "Shades of Survival" explores the lives of Black women in Africa, the UK, and the USA who have battled breast cancer. With stunning camera work and deeply personal interviews, the film explores the inequities that persist in their fight-across every step of their journey. The documentary offers a stark look at the health care systems that too often fail Black women, while celebrating the courage of those who advocate for change. Blending personal stories, expert insights, and creative performance, "Shades of Survival" is a powerful narrative of survival, community, and the ongoing struggle for health care equity.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
