Synopsis

A historical epic, cast in the style of a realistic narrative with symbolic overtones, about runaway slaves and their hunters in the mid-nineteenth century, which weaves an analysis of the factional divisions between coffee and sugar interests, plantation owners and smallholders, around the drama of the Rancheador searching for the mythical rebel slave leader, Mother Manchora.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
