An emotional and inspirational rollercoaster ride, CALIBRATE won the Audience Award at the Awareness Film Festival (USA) for good reason. Directed by Academy Award Nominee Steve Pasvolsky, the film follows a cast of brave and diverse patients from around the globe as they attempt to 'heal themselves' from catastrophic injury and health conditions. After traditional medicine failed them, they converge on the NeuroPhysics Clinic in the hills above the Gold Coast, Australia, to be treated by former Mr.Universe Ken Ware. Despite no formal medical training, Ken has studied the body for 30 years and found an astounding link between Chaos Theory and the body's ability to heal itself. His method is put to the test by Manchester Bombing survivor Martin Hibbert, Australian bull-riding champion Sam O'Connor and World Dwarf Games athlete Meredith Young. All have one thing in common - a burning desire to walk again.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
