The Bell Curve

A controversial study on intelligence and social class sparks a national debate when its findings challenge political correctness and expose the widening gap between America's cognitive elite and the rest of society.

Drama

Synopsis

Based off of the book ""The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life"" by psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and political scientist Charles Murray Book synopsis - ""...in which the authors argue that human intelligence is substantially influenced by both inherited and environmental factors and that it is a better predictor of many personal outcomes, including financial income, job performance, birth out of wedlock, and involvement in crime than are an individual's parental socioeconomic status. They also argue that those with high intelligence, the ""cognitive elite"", are becoming separated from those of average and below-average intelligence. The book was controversial, especially where the authors wrote about racial differences in intelligence and discussed the implications of those differences.""

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
