Filmed over a three-year period, the film Radical Acts of Love chronicles Linda Folley’s struggle with early-onset Alzheimer’s. The film tells the story of Linda, a master programmer, pilot, scientist, and philanthropist, who was diagnosed with the disease at 52. Stories are woven together with interviews from Linda’s wife and film coproducer Camila Faraday, friends, and family, as well as home movies captured prior to Linda’s diagnosis.
When Linda Folley, an intellectual powerhouse and family matriarch, is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at the young age of 52, her community rallies to support her in the face of the insidious disease. RADICAL ACTS OF LOVE represents the interests of 50 million Americans suffering with Alzheimer's, impressing the sacred importance of living in grace, and dying with dignity.

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.
