Every man is a story, says one of Kraken's best-known songs, but only a handful are a legend and that is the case of Elkin RamĂrez, the Titan, the mythical leader and vocalist of the most famous rock band in Colombia. Through testimonies from those who knew him well, his friends, his family, his musicians ... valuable archive images and of course a lot of rock, the film draws the past to bring us to the present, at the moment when a new vocalist , Roxana, and the band itself, wonder whether or not they will be well received, knowing that rock fans are among the most demanding and faithful audiences that exist. A documentary for nostalgics, for rockers and for music lovers in general, but also for those who want to know more about the national history of a genre that is also a country, less mainstream, if you will, but whose voice resonates strongly who we are.

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.
