Felix White & Barney Douglas, on the best cricket movie you'll see
🕑 Added 2019-07-25 18:35:57 +0000 UTCThe Edge is a new documentary about the urge to be the best in the world, and the human toll it can take to get there. Barney Douglas toured with the England team from their humiliation in the West Indies in 2009, through their gruelling years of training before winning in Australia in 2011, then their eventual collapse in Australia in 2013. He used his trove of archival footage along with new interviews to bring the story to life. Then he teamed up with Felix White, of the Tailenders cricket podcast and the Maccabees band, to write the score. Together they've produced a beautiful look at human strength and weakness through the lens of cricket, and they sat down to share that process with us.
