Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Edge of Madness is a 2002 drama film based on the short story "A Wilderness Station", written by Alice Munro.[1] The Canadian film stars Brendan Fehr, Caroline Dhavernas, and Corey Sevier. Written by Charles K. Pitts and Anne Wheeler, the film is based on the life of a young woman (Annie) who confesses to the murder of her husband. Annie is selected out of an orphanage to be a part of an arranged marriage and to be a housewife at a homestead. After countless rapes and times of abuse, George the brother of Simon (Annie's husband), murders Simon. As the story progresses, Annie confesses to this murder and her life and liberty are put into question. The movie has not received any specific awards, but Anne Wheeler was awarded the DGC Lifetime Award at the 2016 Directors Guild Canada Awards. Her awards stemmed from her achievements from films such as Edge of Madness, Better Than Chocolate, and Chi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
