In June 2012, a relay team of eight cyclists from the Canadian sub-Arctic and nine crew participated in the 5000 kilometer Race Across America (RAAM) in Support of the Food First Foundation. The original goal of the team was to simply finish the grueling race from California to Maryland and not come in last. But only a day into the race, the cyclists find themselves fighting for position in the middle of the pack... with one hell of a race ahead of them. A documentary on the story behind the race of Team Food First in the 2012 Race Across America.
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.
