Synopsis

The Smith Family a lesson in love chronicles one exceptional family's struggle to endure the physical and emotional trauma surrounding the death of a husband, father and pillar of the Mormon community. Kim Smith's life was shattered by the revelation of her husband's homosexual infidelity and her resulting HIV infection. Enduring the emotional strains of betrayal, condemnation of the Mormon Church and her own impending illness, Kim's tragic yet empowering odyssey forces her to redefine her own sense of family, faith and forgiveness. "The Smiths: a lesson in love" is the story of one woman's extraordinary choices and enduring spirit of compassion.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
