Andris Dambis – car builder and living auto sport legend - talks about persistence, courage, and his desire to be the first. The first off-road vehicle, the first electric car taking part in the Dakar Rally, the first electric car built in Latvia.
This movie is a story about persistence, courage and desire to be the first. Andris Dambis is a legendary persona of Latvian racing sports. Without any previous experience together with his sons and other team members they build the OSCar eO - the first electric off-road vehicle, which is also the first electric vehicle built in Latvia. Their aim and dare is to be the first range-extended electric-drive vehicle to complete the Dakar rally in 2012, an 8400 km long grueling challenge through Argentina, Chile and Peru. And with the insights of makers of this movie, every viewer can be a part of this extraordinary achievement.

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.
