Doğan is a young and successful surgeon living in Istanbul. He works at a hospital owned by his father Faruk, who is also a doctor. Having received a Western education, Doğan is unfamiliar with his own country and believes that his life is limited to Istanbul. Problems with his father and fiancée lead him into a dead end. During this time, he receives an offer from the Ministry of the Interior and agrees to go to a field hospital in Gaziantep to perform surgery on an important patient for the government. In Gaziantep, he meets Ayşe, a translator at the same hospital who fled the war in Syria. Doğan's decision to go to Gaziantep will change his entire life.
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.
