Losing Touch

Director: Sarah Gavron

Year: 2019

Rocks (15) is a teenage girl with big dreams for the future, loyal fun friends and an adoring, though mischievous, little brother, Emmanuel (7). Rocks enjoys school (as much as any teenager does) and lives a full vibrant life in East London with her team of London-centric best mates. Rocks’ world is turned upside down when she returns from school to find her mum gone, leaving some cash and a note offering little explanation except that she is sorry. Determined to stick with her brother and avoid being taken into care against all odds, Rocks leaves her home and hides in pockets of East London, and as each day becomes tougher and her secret harder to hide, Rocks starts to push away those who love her and her friendship group begins to fracture. When the authorities finally catch up with her, there is really only one source of support for her to turn to: her friends. A film about the joy, resilience and spirit of girlhood.<br /> Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2019 - Platform - World premiere<br /> Official Selection San Sebastián International Film Festival 2019 - European premiere<br /> Official Selection Busan International Film Festival 2019 - Asian premiere<br /> Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2019 - Special Presentation

On The Edge is a witty, surprising and ultimately feel good portrait of an isolated village of 59 people and 100 sledge dogs, surviving against the odds.
