With this tool the team pursues the first-ever picture of a black hole, resulting in an image seen by billions of people in April 2019. Meanwhile, Hawking and his team attack the black hole paradox at the heart of theoretical physics—Do predictive laws still function, even in these massive distortions of space and time? Weaving them together is a third strand, philosophical and exploratory using expressive animation. “Edge” is about practicing science at the highest level, a film where observation, theory, and philosophy combine to grasp these most mysterious objects.

Sasquatch
When he worked at a pot farm in California in 1993, the gonzo journalist David Holthouse heard the shocking story about a brutal triple murder in the vicinity. The main suspect was the giant ape Bigfoot, locally known as Sasquatch. A story so far out that Holthouse is still haunted by it today and decides to solve the bizarre mystery - by actually taking it seriously. The result is a terrific ‘deep dive’ into a grey zone of American folklore, stoner life and a very true crime that was never solved. Knowing full well that most people know Bigfoot from grainy photographs à la Loch Ness monster and flying saucers, Holthouse manages to sow a seed of doubt in his own sceptical mind – and possibly also in ours?
