Twenty years on from arguably the most iconic and influential summer in English cricketing history, this documentary takes a deep dive into one of sport’s fiercest rivalries.

Go behind the scenes of the 2023 Men's Ashes Series, one of the most memorable series between England and Australia in living memory, and one not short of controversy. Hear from the key England protagonists, including captain Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Stuart Broad, as they take you through the highs and lows of the five-match series. The heartbreak at Edgbaston, the tension at Lord's, elation at Headingley and frustration at Emirates Old Trafford.

Between 2009 and 2013, the England Test cricket team rose from the depths of the rankings to become the first and only English side to reach world number one (since ICC records began). The Edge is a compelling, funny and emotional insight into a band of brothers' rise to the top, their unmatched achievements and the huge toll it would take.

From breathtaking highs — a World Cup win, an astonishing last stand in the Ashes, and an inspiring England captaincy — to the lows — a trial for affray, personal tragedy, and mental health challenges, which saw him take time away from the game — the documentary follows Ben Stokes in an honest film about the man behind the extraordinary cricketer.
