Why is the /discover/movie not working

import requests
import json
from pprint import pprint
api_key = """#######################"""
sorter = "/discover/movie?certification_country=US&certification.lte=G&sort_by=popularity.desc"
url = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie/?api_key=" + str(api_key) + "&language=en-US" + sorter
r = requests.get(url)
data = r.json()
pprint(data)
Here is the code I am running and it is supposed to get back the top rated childrens movies I know this because I copy and pasted it directly from the examples on the /discover/movie page. However no matter how I change the sorter variable the function will only return the most popular movies in general. the first is Logan and I know this is not a childrens movie so what am I doing wrong?

You're not building a valid URL.
Would be along the right path.
