In Exile Echoes, the voices of four Iranian women weave together to tell an intimate story of resilience. Set against a backdrop of oppression, each woman's voice becomes a powerful testament to life under an authoritarian regime that restricts freedom and autonomy, especially for women. Through deeply personal narratives, they share experiences of defiance and survival, offering profound insight into the psychological and emotional scars of exile. The film also follows the journey of a woman artist who, through her art, embodies the struggles of her homeland. Her creative process unfolds in vivid detail as she channels frustration, sorrow, and hope into a piece that powerfully symbolizes the oppression faced by Iranian women. This artwork emerges as a visceral expression of shared pain, resilience, and the unyielding desire for freedom.

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.
