One orphaned girl struggles to survive in the not so distant future where society has succumbed to violence and become a kill or be killed world.
Set in a future perhaps closer than we hope to imagine, SUGAR, tells the story of a lone girl, orphaned as a child, struggling to survive in a society wrought with violence where people employ a kill first ask questions later mentality. Haunted by nightmarish visions of finding her parents dead at a young age, Sugar (Kalia Prescott) awakens to find herself hungry and desperate for nourishment. Her quest for food and water leads her to a new discovery that shows perhaps not everyone is as they seem and explores just how far a simple idea planted in the mind of a child can linger and grow.

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.
