In Search of the Edge: An Inquiry into the Shape of the Earth and the Disappearance of Andrea Barns (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Made with the assistance of the National Film Board of Canada, this 1990 Canadian mockumentary about the flat Earth theory including the fictional story of the fatal polar expedition by Andrea Barnes.It was created to teach critical theories and debunk flat-earth theory, though some flat earth adherents continue to use it as if it were a non-fiction, serious documentary supporting their beliefs.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
