Runtime

Synopsis

Witness the fascinating story of a photographer and photojournalist’s entire career in his own gentle and humble words. After taking some of the most classic photographs in Hollywood history, Steve Schapiro set his sights on something that he felt was significantly more important: documenting the civil unrest that was happening in Black America. Shapiro provided America with iconic images to magnify the voices of James Baldwin, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and many more. His stories are remarkable not because they’re his alone, but because of the selfless dedication to public service he pursued in his own distinctive way. Being Everywhere honors the legendary photographer’s remarkable career, his unparalleled ability to capture defining moments in history, and his unique fortune to be present at key moments of social change, revealing his deep empathy and unwavering commitment to documenting the human experience.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
