Synopsis

Set in the early years of Christianity, the story follows the homeless orphans of Rome as they flee the chaos caused by Emperor Nero, who is igniting fires to persecute Christians. The orphans come across Ben and Helena, secret Christian leaders in Rome who serve as "Story keepers," preserving the tales of Jesus. With their guidance, the orphans escape the burning city and journey toward a safe refuge for Christians. During their travels, they encounter a variety of characters from different backgrounds while learning about the life of Jesus.

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.
