The dismay of North Africans living in France in the 1980s. For the girls, born for the most part in France and attending French schools, they experience the difficulty of understanding and adapting for their parents in the face of this new world, these new mores, relegated among themselves to housing projects, HLM breeding grounds of economic cannon fodder. Jamila has a French friend who bursts into her family with his culture. From this situation arises misunderstandings and unease, which widen the gap between parents and their daughter. A story where tenderness, heartbreak and suffering combine.
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.
