Quotes:
Kenny Williams: Okay Cuch, why'd you bring me all the way up here?
Cuch: You're standing at the center of two worlds.
Kenny Williams: Yeah, well, I thought I left that other world behind.
Cuch: Well don't look through their eyes, look through your eyes. From here you can see forever - the past, the present, the future. See, the Creator scattered us to the four winds so we could prove that we're human by finding our way home.
Kenny Williams: Well, always trying to find your way home can make a man crazy.
Cuch: Hmmh, sometimes you have to go all the way around the world to find your way, and sometimes you've got to put pride aside to get there. Me, I'm home.
Kenny Williams: This is like, what, a sacred site or something?
Cuch: This?
[chuckles]
Cuch: This is just a big rock.

Edge Of America, 4 December 2005
10/10
Author: goldiggr from United States

This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I hope to be able to see this movie again and again. It is worth watching more than once. The moral to this story, more people need to see. Thank you to all the people involved in making this movie. I think the choice of actors made this movie about as real as if you were a part of the movie. This is one movie I'll be recommending to everyone. It is not a sports movie but a movie about REAL life. No matter where a person goes in this Edge of America at some point all of us become a minority and we all need to learn we can make this world a better place working together. This is what the movie is teaching us.
