Izu Ojukwu's Power of 1 is now available on Amazon Prime Video for viewers in the US and UK. The political thriller, which is partly inspired by 2 Baba's shelved 2017 protests stars Alexx Ekubo in the lead role of Justin Aba, a socially conscious afro-pop artiste with a large following. When Justin Aba decides to use his influence to stage a protest against the policies of the incumbent government, he is drawn into a game of politics he didn't bargain for. This film shows the twists, turns, and intrigue of a proposed protest march called by an influential pop artiste, that shook the socio-political landscape of Nigeria to its very foundation. Nerves are stretched to breaking point as the decision to take ownership and execute the protest throws up intriguing reactions from security operatives, political players, hustlers and opportunists Power of 1 stars Ramsey Nouah, Anne Idibia, Jide Kosoko and Michelle Dede.

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.
