LOS
ANGELES, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientology
Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a
platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important
social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary
On the Verge.
DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8
p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
On the Verge captures breathtaking footage of rock
climbers scaling sheer granite walls in British Columbia, but whose biggest challenge
is in struggling to protect the pristine forests and old-growth
trees from the devastating onslaught of the timber industry.
Directed by Robin Munshaw and set
in the stunningly beautiful mountains of British Columbia, On the Verge sheds
light on a small group of pioneering rock climbers who spent
decades establishing routes on some of the largest granite walls in
Canada. But as the last stands of
old-growth trees in these valleys come under threat of logging, the
climbing community faces the uncertain future of a place that has
come to define their lives and legacies.
On the Verge is the winner for Best Director at the
Four Seasons Film Festival, the winner for Best Mountain Culture
Film at the Nordic Adventure Film Festival and was an official
selection at numerous other prestigious film festivals.
