At the Edge of the World is a 2008 documentary which chronicles the efforts of animal rights activist Paul Watson and 45 other volunteers, who set out in two Sea Shepherd ships to hinder the Japanese whaling fleet in the waters around Antarctica.

In the course, one of the Sea Shepherd's small boats with two men on board gets lost.

Both Sea Shepherd vessels must abandon the Nisshin Maru, which later takes part in the search for them.

As the Farley Mowat approaches, the Japanese vessel calls out a Mayday, stopping the Sea Shepherds from further engagement.

The Globe and Mail reviewer Fiona Morrow called the documentary, "an epic tale of hunter and hunted: a Moby-Dick for the environmental age.
