Overview from TheMovieDB

Through the stories of women who travel undocumented to Puerto Rico, we learn about the reality of that trip in "yola" and the abuse, violence, racism and xenophobia that they must face to try to achieve their dream of a better life and send money to Dominican Republic for their families. In a study carried out by the Beatriz Lassalle Graduate School of Social Work of the University of Puerto Rico with the Center for Dominican Women, a sample of 900 women showed that 97% of said population are victims of emotional violence, 81% of physical abuse and 78% sexual abuse. Despite multiple violence, being victims of a system that oppresses them for being undocumented immigrants, women, Dominicans, and black, the narratives contain the stubbornness to live fully and to ensure a better future for themselves, their children and their children and the communities to which they belong in their countries of origin and in Puerto Rico.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
