The Edge

Screening on Film
Directed by Robert Kramer.
With Jack Rader, Tom Griffin, Anne Waldman.
US, 1967, 16mm, black & white, 102 min.

In this early political narrative, Kramer explores the plight of a troubled anti-war activist who plans to assassinate the president of the United States. His resolve forces others in a fragmented and disillusioned group of political allies to face the threat of government counter-intelligence and the temptations of middle-age security, and to re-examine their commitment to radical action.
