"By 1937, Michael had acquired the experience and the confidence to make his first really personal work, The Edge of the World. A beautiful, committed, and poetic film." - Martin Scorsese

When the skipper of a tourist yacht lands reluctantly on the remote shores of Hirta – the now-deserted Hebridean island of his birth – he is overwhelmed by memories from a time before its evacuation. A powerful story of love, rivalry and survival against the harsh elemental realities of island life and an ever-encroaching modernity.
