The Edge of Existence is a feature documentary that follows electronics teacher and father of two Cam Cameron, as he attempts to survive for 50 days on the UK’s most remote island, Rockall – one of the most isolated and inhospitable places on Earth.
As the days pass and the waves rise, Cam’s mission to inspire others becomes a fight for survival – forcing him to confront not only the power of nature, but the distance that’s grown between him and his family.
Directed by Aaron Wheeler, the film examines what drives ordinary people to extraordinary extremes – and questions the morality of adventure itself. Through stunning cinematography and deeply personal insight, it explores the cost of obsession and the fragile line between courage and recklessness.
