Synopsis

What can thousands of electric energy workers do after being laid off from one day to the other? 16,599 workers reinvent themselves in order to resist, to go back to their jobs and also avoid that electric energy in Mexico be privatized. Four years of amazing stories of resistance and of confrontation with the Mexican government, in the midst of an acute global labor crisis.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
