Synopsis

When Annika got a sacred eagle feather from a Native American visiting Sweden, she realized that it was a very sacred object that should probably not be in her hands. What was she supposed to do with it? Should she return it? And if so, to whom? Her quest to find the right owner took her deep into Indian communities, where she learned about the anger, sadness, and hopes of traditional Natives. Beautifully crafted and filmed, Spirits for Sale explores both sides of an unlikely battleground between Europeans staging traditional ceremonies for which the charge people to attend, and Indian people struggling to hold on to their culture at all costs.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
