Synopsis

Civil war-torn Mozambique, where international aid workers, rival mine clearance companies, and corrupt politicians clash in an ambitious and unusual crime drama. Mine clearance expert Johan Stensrud arrives to take over the job after Stein Halvorsen's accident. It quickly becomes clear to Johan that his predecessor was murdered, but no one cares about his suspicions. All he can do is start his own private investigation, while throwing himself into the work he is actually in Mozambique to do.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
