Cal Dobbs, a transgender athlete, runs across America for trans rights, to bring attention to anti-trans legislation, and to promote access to gender-affirming healthcare. His journey takes him through some of the most hostile anti-trans states as he fights for the inclusion of trans people in sports and access to gender-affirming healthcare. Along the way, he empowers local LGBTQ communities through 5k fun runs while fundraising nearly $100,000 for grassroots groups directly serving trans people most impacted. We hear from trans athletes, activists, coaches, doctors, and researchers debunking myths about fairness in sports and reminding us how sports shape a society. Through Cal's harrowing and vulnerable journey, we feel empowered to join the collective struggle for freedom and bodily autonomy and embrace the joy of being our authentic selves.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
