Lisoso Mathias has received news that his illness is terminal and that he needs to put his house in order within six months before his demise. But Njoh aka Kabongo, his elder brother is eagerly waiting for that day as he stands to inherit all of Lisoso’s property (which includes his wife Veronica and children, Sonia and Loise) as demanded by tradition if the dead man has no male child. But Sonia is declared the heir on the day of the will reading by the barrister appointed by Lisoso. Kabongo enlists his idle son and his cohorts to track down the Barrister and reclaim the will. He sets out to eliminate any witness to the will. Without a will not witnesses, will tradition prevail over the Dead Man’s Wish?
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.
