Synopsis

Based on a true story, American Marine Jason Johnson is assigned to the Emirate of Bahrain, where he meets and falls in love with Meriam, a spirited and charming young woman. Unbeknownst to Jason, Meriam is a member of the Bahraini Royal Family. She is reluctant to comply with an arranged marriage and is aware that her relationship with Jason poses significant risks, as he is a Mormon Christian and she is a Muslim. Her parents would not approve of the union, prompting Meriam and Jason to attempt to flee Bahrain and reach the United States, where they hope to marry. If Meriam is discovered and sent back, her life could be in danger.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
