The Dragons of Galapagos

Documentary

Synopsis

This is the story of the incredible struggle for survival of the dragons of the Galapagos. On the island of Fernandina, each year land iguanas migrate up the steep slopes of the 5000-foot active volcano to lay their eggs in the warm soil. If the rim of the crater is fully occupied, they have to climb 1 km down the steep crater walls to the floor below. Many are killed in the process of finding a path down, as the walls are steep and dangerously unstable, causing many landslides.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
