The Edge (2023)

Three young women deeply embedded in the world of competitive sport, teach the audience what it is to be a female athlete in a world of competition, a lot of it off the track, pool and gym. Yui, a Japanese Paralympic swimmer is facing the usual highs and lows of sport, mixed in with cultural differences and prejudice against her disability. Whilst able-bodied athletes respect her as an athlete - society doesn't always. Annie is a sprinter with little passion for anything else, besides perhaps her boyfriend, who has just proposed an open relationship. Finally, Sylvia is an indigenous weight-lifter, struggling with commitment and making the most not only of her athleticism, but of her brilliant mind too. Metaphorically, we're all competitors in a game of life, it's just that sport writes down the rules. Because if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
