Mina, a 29 year old mother of one, who takes over as bread winner in the home when her husband Bomboka is maimed after a domestic wrangle.
Meet Mina who takes over as bread winner in the home when her husband Bomboka is bedridden. Amidst strife, she breaks societal norms when she takes on work in the risky salt mine lake to feed her family and works extra hours to make more cash for her husband's medication. She is presented as a strong, brilliant and resilient mother of one that toils to feed her son and maimed husband. Mina is an instrument of resistance, she is an activist at the grass root who as much as she tolerates her terrible husband, she gets to breaking point and decides to defend herself and her child from the monstrous claws of her once good man.

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.
