Kafi Dixon dreams of starting a land cooperative for women of color who have experienced trauma and disenfranchisement in the city of Boston. By day she drives a city bus; at night she studies the humanities in a tuition-free course. Her classmate Carl Chandler, a community elder, is the class’s intellectual leader. White suburban filmmaker James Rutenbeck documents the students’ engagement with the humanities. He looks for transformations but is awakened to the violence, racism and gentrification that threaten Kafi and Carl's very place in the city. Troubled by his failure to bring the film together, he enlists the pair as collaborators with a share in the film revenues. Five years on, despite many obstacles, Kafi and Carl arrive at surprising new places in their lives—and James does too.

Los agujeros negros están en el límite de lo que podemos saber. Para explorar esa ventaja de conocimiento, el Event Horizon Telescope vincula observatorios de todo el mundo para simular un instrumento del tamaño de la Tierra. Con esta herramienta, el equipo persigue la primera imagen de un agujero negro, lo que resulta en una imagen vista por miles de millones de personas en abril de 2019.Mientras tanto, Hawking y su equipo atacan la paradoja de los agujeros negros en el corazón de la física teórica: ¿siguen funcionando las leyes predictivas, incluso en estas distorsiones masivas del espacio y el tiempo? Tejerlos juntos es una tercera línea, filosófica y exploratoria utilizando la animación expresiva. "Edge" trata sobre la práctica de la ciencia al más alto nivel, una película donde la observación, la teoría y la filosofía se combinan para captar estos objetos más misteriosos. Peter Galison
