Patagonia - In The Footsteps Of Charles Darwin
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 53
A land of endless expanses and unspoiled nature with unique wildlife awaits us here in two parts. Based on original quotations from his travel journal, the film follows the historical itinerary of one of the most significant nature observers and evolutionary biologists in history – Charles Darwin. Wildlife, nature and human interest stories like the mussel divers of the island of Valdes, who, equipped only with a garden hose as an oxygen supply, collect mussels in depths of up to 20 meters are part of this wonderful documentary of Patagonia. Accompany us on this trip in real 3D.
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.
