In the captivating drama "Tears of the Sun," Bash Luks as Marvin, a determined young man from a humble background, finds himself in a whirlwind of emotions when he falls in love with Kemirembe Mulungi as Nadia, a beautiful woman from a prestigious royal family. Despite their vastly different upbringings, their connection deepens as they navigate the challenges of societal expectations and familial pressures. As they fight for their love, Marvin must confront his own insecurities and the adversities that come with loving someone from a world so different from his own. The film beautifully explores themes of love, resilience, and the trans-formative power of hope against the backdrop of a tumultuous society.

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.
