A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Ellie Flynn is an investigative journalist and broadcaster who has produced and fronted documentaries for BBC and Channel 4. Ellie’s hard-hitting documentaries highlight the most important issues facing young people in the UK today. Her debut BBC3 documentary, ‘Sex For Rent’, exposed landlords who exploit tenants using sex and was ground breaking, resulting in changes to UK law. Ellie went on to present the critically acclaimed Channel 4 Dispatches episode, ‘Undercover: Sexual Harassment – The Truth’, which was highly commended at the British Journalism Awards and nominated for a Rose D’Or. The documentary helped spark nationwide conversations about women’s safety and prompted a direct response from the Home Office. Ellie’s most recent Channel 4 documentaries, ‘Coca Cola’s Dirty Secrets’ and ‘The Truth About Temu’, have also attracted significant media attention and sparked important conversations.
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.
