A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Ken Fero is a filmmaker, activist, educator and founding member of Migrant Media which, since 1991, has produced several radical documentaries examining community responses to issues of race, class and resistance. His ground-breaking and multi-award winning 2001 feature documentary Injustice, regarding the killings of predominantly Black people in the UK, had significant international and political impact. It was screened in the European Parliament where Fero also spoke. It is also currently banned by all UK broadcasters. Fero’s recent film, Ultraviolence (2020), reveals the history of militant resistance to UK state violence and was officially selected for the BFI London Film Festival also winning a Special Jury Award (Queens World Film Festival 2021), Special Audience Award (Arbetar Film Festival 2021) and Best Documentary (British Urban Film Festival 2021). Ultraviolence is currently distributed by the British Film Institute.

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.
