The story of Juan Carlos Unzué's daily life during two and a half years, since the former goalkeeper and trainer of Barça went public with his ALS diagnosis in June 2020. Right from day one he decided, on the one hand, to lend visibility to the disease in order to denounce the lack of help for those who suffer from it and, on the other, to organise a big event to raise as much money as possible for research. The documentary exhaustively follows all of the meetings and conversations held with managers of FC Barcelona and Manchester City to arrange a football game that succeeded in raising 4.5 million euros. Meanwhile, Unzué opens the doors to his home and reveals the evolution of his physical degeneration.
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.
