As an adult, Ana is haunted by the shadows of her past, bravely sharing one of her most painful memories in a support group. Years earlier, Ana and her mother, Hawa, lived a life of relentless hardship inside a brothel. As a child, Ana loved her mother unconditionally, unaware of the cruel world around them. But as she grew older, the harsh truths of her environment began to surface, leaving her with painful questions and a fractured sense of trust. During a quiet visit to a church, Ana and Hawa met a mysterious figure who offered a glimmer of hope. For Hawa, it was a chance for peace and escape from suffering. For Ana, it stirred a storm of emotions, forcing her to confront her beliefs about faith, forgiveness, and the meaning of salvation. Now, as Ana navigates the delicate balance between past wounds and present struggles, she embarks on a soul-searching journey toward healing, redemption, and the courage to reclaim her life from the darkness that shaped it.

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.
