Synopsis

Based on a true story, *Vendetta* portrays the shocking and tragic events surrounding a group of Sicilian immigrants working on the New Orleans docks in the 1890s. Following the brutal murder of the Chief of Police, much of the city's Sicilian population was arrested and questioned. Eventually, thirteen individuals were formally tried for murder, with nine going to trial. Although they were acquitted, a series of brutal lynchings demonstrated that they faced just as much danger from the city's general populace as they did from the corrupt police force.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
