"Antifa" is the third episode in the "America Under Siege" documentary web-series releasing over the course of 2017. Each episode profiles the influence of radical Marxists and/or anarchists on various segments of American society. Usually dressed in black, sometimes from head to toe, wearing masks, wielding bats or other weapons, and sometimes throwing projectiles while chanting ("No Trump, No Wall, No USA at All!", is one such chant) and holding signs with messages like "Immolate a Fascist". Antifa, whose name is short for Antifascist Action according to its supporters, notwithstanding the group's adoption of tactics reminiscent of actual fascist groups, has received limited critical coverage in the mainstream media. Working with Dangerous Documentaries, director Judd Saul and conservative commentator Trevor Loudon unveil the real history, motives, and goals of the movement in the United States and elsewhere it is active.

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.
