The death of Sinéad O’Connor was both sad and shocking and the reaction to her premature passing, in Ireland and from across the world, was instant and profound. Tributes poured in from home and abroad, ranging from President Michael D Higgins to music royalty such as Madonna. With contributions from David Holmes, Christy Moore, Imelda May, Don Letts, BP Fallon and many more, this documentary reflects on Sinéad O’Connor’s influence on Irish life and Irish people throughout her life. Using a wealth of unique archive footage from RTÉ and international sources, it features an Ireland she fought against and the kind of Ireland she desired. From Pope John Paul arriving in Ireland to Charles Haughey and Gay Byrne, and on to the struggle for Irish women’s 'right to travel’ - it provides a visual backdrop to a changing society. Sinéad’s body of work provides the soundtrack.
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.
