The Lost City of the Monkey God
“There’s always a curse involved…”
Synopsis
The documentary *The Lost City of the Monkey God* follows explorer Steve Elkins and a team of archaeologists, anthropologists, scientists, and filmmakers on a true-life adventure as they navigate torrential rains, dense jungles, poisonous reptiles, and disease-carrying flies to search one of the last unexplored places on Earth for a lost Maya city. Using cutting-edge laser technology, they are able to "see" the city hidden in the impenetrable jungle. With the support of the president of Honduras and his army, they work to save the found city from destruction and looting, properly excavate and preserve their discovery, and begin to solve the mysteries of the lost city.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
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.
