The documentary traces the life of Luciano Lama, one of the major protagonists of Italian trade union history. From the years of the Resistance to those in which he was mayor of Amelia, a small Umbrian village. From the years alongside the " 'his teacher Di Vittorio "' to the secretariat of the CGIL, through the stories of those who have been close to him, we arrive at the fifties and sixties who see Lama first at the head of the chemists and then of the metalworkers. But it is the seventies and eighties the real protagonists, years in which Lama is at the head of the largest Italian trade union organization: he becomes secretary in the moments of maximum brilliance of the union and is forced to face one battle after another: the agreement on the single point of contingency, the oil crisis, the turning point of the Eur, the fight against terrorism, the referendum on the escalator.

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.
