5.0 out of 5 stars The story of the making of a film, June 11, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: The Edge of the World: The Making of a Film (Paperback)

When he was young, Michael Powell saw a documentary about
the evacuation of Hirta (St. Kilda), he always wanted to
make a film about it.

What happens when the people of a lonely, windswept island
can no longer survive as a community ? This story
examines the hardships of such a life and the decisions
they must make, whether to stay where their families have
worked & died to establish this hard-working community or
to leave and give the next generation a better chance.

This book documents how Powell & his film crew stayed on
the Hebridean island of Foula to make this dramatic film.
