“Children of the Earth” is the testimony of people linked to nature who open their hearts to transmit to humanity the wisdom that Mother Earth treasures. People who have inherited their knowledge from their ancestors and whose practice shows that we have a living pharmacy within our reach, as long as we take care of nature.They are medicine men and women who propose “an initiatory journey”, a plea in favor of natural medicine. They also emphasize that the materialism and stress to which current society subjects us prevent us from searching for consciousness, leading us to distance ourselves from nature. In this way, the documentary leads the viewer to reflect on the current health system. But it also tries to make people see that the great challenge is to once again be able to think about the common good, the Earth, our greatest provider of life.
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.
