Synopsis

This short film chronicles the political career of Theodore Roosevelt, beginning in 1895 with his appointment as police commissioner of New York City. In 1897, he was named Assistant Secretary of the Navy. The film re-creates his charge up San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Roosevelt became vice president in March 1901 and assumed the presidency following the assassination of William McKinley six months later. The narrator notes that Roosevelt refused to be controlled by political bosses, instead acting according to what he believed to be in the best interest of the American people.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
