Synopsis

One of the many far-reaching impacts of the slave trade on human history is found in agriculture and horticulture. While French plantation owners on the Caribbean island of Martinique designed their gardens in a Versailles-style, their enslaved workers maintained their tradition of using medicinal wild herbs. Today, these herbs are among several resources used by the people of Martinique to counter the health and ecological damage caused by pesticide use on banana plantations. Farmers are reclaiming uncultivated lands to grow indigenous vegetables without the use of industrial pesticides, advocating actively for simple biodiversity.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
