The Edge
No England cricket team rose higher... and fell harder
Directed by Barney Douglas
Produced by Noah Media Group
A documentary portrait of camaraderie and ambition that traces an elite cricket team's meteoric rise and the personal costs of sustained excellence.
Between 2009 and 2013, the England Test cricket team rose from the depths of the rankings to become the first and only English side to reach world number one (since ICC records began). The Edge is a compelling, funny and emotional insight into a band of brothers' rise to the top, their unmatched achievements and the huge toll it would take.
