The Edge of Existence

Synopsis

Following electronics teacher and father Cam Cameron as he attempts to survive 60 days on Rockall, the UK’s most remote and dangerous island. Driven by a need to reconnect with his family, Cam’s quest is a test of endurance and a deeply personal challenge. Having already lost his father and two brothers, Cam is his mother’s only surviving son - a burden that weighs on him as he prepares to break the world record.
Only five people in history have spent more than one night on Rockall - a statistic lower than those who’ve been to the moon. Facing brutal conditions and isolation, Cam’s journey raises questions: What drives a man to risk his life? And what toll does it take on those who love him?
The documentary explores the true meaning of adventure and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of legacy, keeping viewers on edge of their seats.

Spacewoman Spacewoman

Director: Hannah Berryman

Year: 2024

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle.<br /> Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all.<br /> At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? <br /> This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space. <br /> Official Selection DOC NYC 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection CPH:DOX 2025 - European premiere
