Thirty years after the start of the internal war in Peru and ten years after publication of the Report of the Commission on Truth, the documentary inquires about the fate of the 16,000 disappeared persons resulting from actions of the Peruvian government and Shining Path in the Peruvian Andes. It narrates the story of three persons who travel from different towns to the Public Prosecutor’s office in the city of Huamanga, in Ayacucho, where they expect to receive the remains of their relatives and to arrange for a proper burial. During this process, they tell us about the violence and the pain they experienced, their life stories and their incessant struggle to survive in those times.
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.
