With the news of the second Earthquake to hit Nepal, I wondered what I could do to help (even in a small way) so contacted Rialto Films to see if I could put on a screening of the award winning film ‘Beyond the Edge’ with all ticket money going to the relief fund, they replied this morning saying YES…and they do not want a fee.!! so all money raised will go to the relief fund.

BEYOND the EDGE (G) 95 mins Director Leanne Pooley (NZ)
Sir Edmund Hillary’s incredible achievement remains one of the greatest adventure stories of all time; the epic journey of a man from modest beginnings who overcame adversity to reach the highest point on Earth.
Both a classic triumph of the underdog story and a gripping, cinematic experience, Beyond The Edge is a tale of human endurance, tenacity and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
For the first time ever, and with the support of the Hillary family, Sir Edmund’s story is brought to life on the big screen, using both original colour footage and photographs and dramatised recreations of the assault.
Beyond The Edge had its world premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
