N/A
The film tells part of the trajectory of Carlos Alberto Caó de Oliveira, a black Brazilian politician, journalist, lawyer, president of the Union of Journalists of Rio de Janeiro. He was also vice-president of UNE, having been arrested and tortured by the military dictatorship. As a Constituent Federal Deputy in 1988, he acted in the fight for civil rights, it was his amendment that determines that “the practice of racism constitutes a non-bailable and imprescriptible crime”. Directed by Filó Filho and Wanda Ribeiro, the film has the support of two reference institutions in the Brazilian Black Movement, CEAP – Centro de Articulação de Populações Marginalizadas, active in the fight against religious intolerance and racism, and the Cultne Institute, which holds the largest digital collection of black culture in Latin America.
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.
