The dancer (Fawaka) and her sister (Naanaa) live in one of the popular neighborhoods in Alexandria. (Naanaa) works with the teacher (Jaafar) in distributing drugs. The teacher (Jaafar) gets rid of her by reporting her to the police; after signs of her pregnancy from him appeared, and it is rumored that she committed suicide. (Fawaka) decides to take revenge on (Jaafar) and marries him, and (Hamou), (Jaafar's) right-hand man, helps her in that. At the same time, she is involved in a love affair with (Hamada), the handsome young man whom (Jaafar) exploits in the drug trade.
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.
