Four people,in their struggle to improve the world during Occupy Amsterdam. The downfall of the encampment is part of their search for ways to bring about change. But why don't we want to hear their message?
On October 15, 2011, a group sets up an encampment, after international example, on the Beursplein in Amsterdam: Occupy Amsterdam. For two months activists from all walks of life camp on the square. A spontaneous protest without leaders or program. Occupy becomes familiar, in the Netherlands too, but two years later not much seems to be left of the willingness to take action. Does that show the activists were mistaken, or did we simply not want to listen to them?

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.
