On The Verge

In the mountains behind the sleepy coastal town of Powell River, BC, a small group of rock climbers has spent decades quietly pioneering routes on some of the largest granite walls in Canada. As the last stands of old-growth trees harboured in these valleys come under threat of logging, the climbing community faces the uncertain future of a place that has come to define their lives and legacies.

My take

A meditative documentary about a tight-knit climbing community fighting to preserve the granite wilderness that shaped them. Contemplative and urgent—the kind of film that makes you reconsider what you're willing to lose.
