In 1949, Evelyn Orcher was abducted as a 14-year-old girl from her NSW country home. Her family lived with the pain of not knowing her whereabouts for 31 years, until 1979, when Evelyn appeared on television in an attempt to find her family. The day after the program went to air, Evelyn received a visit from a woman she had never met. It was her niece. Evelyn had finally found her family, after 31 long years. An emotional family reunion followed, but after the emotion faded, Evelyn returned to her former life. The torment of the past had opened fresh wounds, and a new struggle had just begun. Part of Message Stick series.
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.
