In the middle of the pandemic, Sitio Dolorosa has remained undeveloped and poor. A place mother nature has also forgotten to bless with rain, making every drop of water important. Everyday, Ipe patiently digs amid the intense heat caused by several months of drought in their area. His only prayer is for water to to appear in the well. Each stab to the ground comes with hope that his children’s thirst will be quenched. If before they only had their thirst and hunger to deal with, the widespread of disease has also made breathing difficult due to the pandemic. The fate of Ipe's family was further tested when his youngest child fell ill with diarrhea. Ipe and his daughter ventured down to the town hospital in the hope of giving them free medical assistance.

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.
