Inspired by the philosophical musings of Terrence Malick and Ron Fricke, this film serves as a profound testament to the interconnectedness of land and life, exploring the infinite cycles that govern our existence. Much like Fricke's Samsara, the narrative delves into the ebb and flow of nature, observing the beauty of the natural world with the consequences of human actions. The film invites viewers to reflect on our place within these cycles, highlighting moments of harmony and disarray as communities adapt to the changing tides of existence. Through this lens, the work raises crucial questions about sustainability, identity, and the future of youth culture in a rapidly evolving world, ultimately urging a contemplative dialogue on our shared responsibilities towards both the environment and one another.

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.
