Şafakla Dönenler describes the difficulties experienced by all laborers through the eyes of Erdal and his 12-year-old son, Merdan, who work as a vegetable at night. Father and son go to work in the face of the brutality of the night and the harshness of the cold. They try to sell at the bottom of the dark wall with hand carts taking greenery from large shops. After getting some of the goods, the trolleys are stolen. On the one hand, they try to move and sell the goods on their backs, while on the one hand they search the carts. Will they be able to find their car when the night is over and at dawn?

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
