Residents of big cities sometimes do not even suspect how much garbage we produce. This film explores the most urgent topic of plastic pollution. From Brussels to Lake Baikal and Indian Dehli, eco-activists invent new ways of recycling to make use of the omnipresent plastic garbage — the film shows their inventions and researches the attitudes towards waste in different countries, leading viewers to the main question: Did you know that some bacteria are able to recycle plastic and decompose it into harmless components? But will our planet be able to cope with the volume of garbage?
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.
