Martha Desrumaux is a North of France child with a novelistic destiny. « Little maid », then factory worker at nine, she will become, through her revolt and commitment, a pioneer in social right fights between the two world wars. Iconic female character of the Front Populaire, Jean Renoir put her in scene in 1936 in the movie « La vie est à nous ». Instigator of the digger’s struggle against the nazi invaders, she is deported in 1942 and involved into the resistance within Ravensbrück’s camp. In 1945, she is designated for being one of the first woman member of parliament in France history, before to fall in oblivion.
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.
