ONE PILL CAN KILL is a warning about the increasing dangers of deadly fentanyl aimed at an audience of middle and high school students in West Virginia, a state with the most significant substance abuse issues in the country. Hosted by former WVU basketball star Meg Bulger, the film features actual students who share experiences and ask questions. Meg ventures out to get answers for them - to a DEA Chemist, a family who lost a child to fentanyl, police officers who bust drug dealers, EMT’s who respond to overdoses, and a convicted drug dealer in prison - the kids learn that all it takes is one fatal dose.
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.
