"Âme Cœur" tells the story of Shayna, who spends her first four years in an orphanage in South Africa. Later, she is adopted by Veer, a 50-year-old widower of Mauritian origin living in Johannesburg. Shayna, an artist devoted to painting, writing, and social projects, sees her life take a drastic turn when she suffers a stroke after a music and dance performance. Plunged into a coma for several days at the clinic, she is eventually taken off life support following Veer's traumatic decision, with the support of Dr. Jimmie. Veer then fulfills his daughter's last wish: to donate her organs.

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.
