In November 2025, a new documentary film titled "The Edge of Existence" is set to premiere, chronicling one man's daring attempt to survive for 60 days on Rockall, the UK's most remote and perilous island. The film is the directorial debut of Aaron Wheeler and is produced by Slick Films, the indie label that won an Oscar for its short "The Silent Child."
The film's protagonist is Cam Cameron, an electronics lecturer and father, who embarks on a grueling test of endurance by trying to spend two months on the desolate granite islet situated 230 miles west of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Rockall is a hugely well-known location in the UK, as it is featured in the iconic daily Shipping Forecast, which has been broadcast for over a century.
