Kemal leads a happy life with his family. One day, Kemal gets into trouble as he witnesses a car accident. A teacher dies in the accident. The house of Kemal, who testified to the incident, is set on fire by unknown persons. In the police investigation, it is revealed that a businessman named Osman Sertoğlu had a hand in both the accident and the arson. However, Osman is released as there is not enough evidence. The only eyewitness the police have is Kemal. For this Osman tries to dissuade Kemal from testifying. To this end, he kidnaps Kemal's wife. However, Kemal has no intention of giving up his testimony.
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.
