What happens when your instincts tell you to seek revenge, but your faith demands that you forgive? YouTube sensation and stand-up comedian Humza Arshad embarks on what is, at times, an uncomfortable journey to see if unsettled scores can be left behind. As a teenager, Humza’s cousin suffered a brutal and unprovoked attack by a group of young men - an attack which left the family fragmented and scarred. Grappling with his inability to move on, Humza has an unexpected encounter with a killer and goes head-to-head with a ‘forgiveness academic'. With the help of his straight-talking mum and kept afloat by his faith and his unique sense of humour, he must confront the past and look for a way forward. Humza has clocked up more than 100 million views on YouTube, has won an MBE for his work in education and has over 240,000 followers on Instagram, but fame and notoriety has done little to prepare him for his current mission. This could be his toughest gig yet.

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.
