Synopsis

The Popular Revolutionary Army (ERP) was a military unit associated with an Argentine political party that drew inspiration from Mao's Cultural Revolution. The group's tactics included the kidnapping and assassination of government officials and representatives of foreign companies. The military junta's campaign against ERP's terrorist activities later provided a justification for state-sponsored terror targeting civilians unconnected to the organization. Gleyzer's so-called "secret film" documents the kidnapping of a manager from the Swift meat processing and cooling plant. The ERP demanded improved working conditions at the factory in exchange for his release.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
