Synopsis

In *The Beckoning Silence*, Joe Simpson, whose remarkable survival experience was chronicled in the multi-award-winning *Touching the Void*, journeys to the perilous North Face of the Eiger to recount one of mountaineering's most significant tragedies. As a child, this story—and that of one of the climbers in particular—first captivated Simpson's imagination and motivated him to pursue mountaineering.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
