Runtime: 29
A year on from the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Panorama investigates his brutal murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Reporter Jane Corbin speaks to some of the very few people who have listened to covert recordings from inside the diplomatic building, revealing the full details of what happened to Khashoggi, the hit squad sent to kill him and the cover-up that followed. The programme also hears evidence that responsibility for the murder goes to the highest levels of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Has the West has turned a blind eye to state-sanctioned murder so that lucrative trade deals can flourish?
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.
