Event Details
In 1839, Brooke flees Victorian England to explore Borneo. After a pirate attack, Brooke allies with rival princes to seize a rebel fort. To save prisoners from beheading, Brooke agrees to be crowned Rajah. James begs the Royal Navy for a steamship to fight pirates, but the British want his kingdom as a colony.
Makota’s pirates massacre Brooke’s capital, leaving James half-dead. To save his people, he must shed Englishness and embrace the jungle: “All of it, the beauty and the blood.”

Michael Haussman’s EDGE OF THE WORLD (2021, 104 min) is beautifully shot in authentic locations, and Meyers’s Apocalypse Now-like narration illuminates Brooke’s struggle to balance the staggering beauty and the bloody savagery of his private kingdom.
