After being expelled under mysterious circumstances, 21-year-old Haifa returns to her tight-knit Arab community in Dearborn, desperate to restore her reputation and avoid further embarrassment for her mother. She tries to steer clear of Fatimah, the building’s eccentric conspiracy theorist, but when strange disappearances, dead plants, and eerie behavior grip the community, Haifa is drawn into a mystery she can’t ignore. As she searches for her missing brother, tensions rise, neighbors take sides, and unsettling truths emerge—revealing dark secrets about the town and a government conspiracy that runs far deeper than she ever imagined.
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.
