Are the volunteers primarily adrenaline junkies or “die-hard activists”?
Actually, most of the 46 volunteers have mainstream jobs (for example, one of the most passionate crew members featured in At the Edge of the World is an E.R. physician) these people just wanted to be involved in this particular campaign at this particular time in their lives, not knowing when they volunteered that it was going to become a documentary. And they are truly an international mix: nearly 80% of the crew members, including the two captains, are from countries outside the U.S.
