A new series of episodes conceived and written by Piero Angela and dedicated to the new generations, that is, to the young people who today attend Italian schools and who one day will be responsible for the society of the future. In a simple way, try to better understand the difficulties but also the opportunities of the new world we are entering. Piero Angela, together with a team of experts, analyzes the advantages, but also the limits, of "clean" resources and the role of so-called energy cannibalism. Recognizing the urgent ecological emergency of our times, Piero Angela decided in the last period of his life to dedicate himself to the production of a series of programs to explain the problems that humanity must face, linked to climate change and the search for new sources of energy, but also the role of science and technology in modern society.

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.
