Runtime

Documentary

Synopsis

Bruce Franks Jr. is a 34-year-old battle rapper, Ferguson activist, and state representative from St. Louis, Missouri. Known as Superman to his constituents, he is a political figure marked by contradictions and deep insights, having overcome significant personal loss to emerge as one of the most prominent and unapologetic young leaders in the country. This short verité documentary captures Bruce at a pivotal moment in his life, as he confronts the mental trauma he has carried for nearly 30 years since his 9-year-old brother was shot and killed in front of him. The film follows his journey as he seeks peace and aims to fully realize his role as a leader for his community.

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.
