"Islam of my childhood" is like of road movie that deciphers the devastating impact of political Islam on culture and religious traditions in Algeria. The country that has experienced the worst of Islamist terrorism with its "dark decade" and its 200,000 victims has shocked us with the testimony of citizens. They recount the dramas experienced, their resistance and their questions about the deep meaning of their faith in the face of the suffocating diktats and the murderous excesses of fundamentalism and the dictatorship in place. These people paved the way for the new Algerian revolution today!

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.
