Off The Rails
Part of the The Conversation Strand
Body
Adrenaline-seeking Surrey teens Aiden and Rikke scale bridges and jump off buildings in pursuit of clicks and likes they hope will get them out of boring Guildford. But they can’t outrun their trauma. Friends and family members die, they fall in and out of love and prison might be more likely than YouTube stardom. Off the Rails offers sweat-inducing scenes reminiscent of Free Solo with a stylish urban twist, and a candid look at declining mental health among working-class kids. [15]
