Michal Ben Horin reveals her childhood secrets. Through a personal film archive in which she holds private conversations with the world’s most psychopathic criminals, including Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez – The Night Stalker who murdered 18 people, Lynette Fromme – a member of the Manson family and the woman who tried to assassinate President Ford, and more. Michal asks them questions she couldn’t ask her stepfather, Motke Keddar, a Mossad agent who murdered his informant and became known as prisoner X, but for Michal he is the man who hurt her, and the biggest psychopath of all. The filmmaker embarks on a 30 -year journey in which she wants to understand the dangerous madness behind the stamp of genius and logical proficiency of her stepfather.

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.
