Synopsis

Documentary film recounting the life of Basil O'Connell-Jones, a young white Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) who could never find fulfilment. As a teenager he was drawn to the hippie movement and drugs. After time away in London and several close encounters with the law he returned home to a racially fuelled civil war. Still trying to find himself, he enlisted in the Rhodesian Light Infantry; a highly skilled and controversial fighting force. During a deployment, Basil was shot in the head and was arguably dead in the field. In recovery and still desperate for answers he seeks for the truth knowing that death is a comma, not the end.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
