"Islands on the Edge" is a documentary series that portrays the life of a few inhabitants on small outlying islands.

Through a cinematic view, the experiences of the people, their stories, the past, the present and the future of these remote places are captured. Each episode is a journey, a collection of images, faces and moments of everyday life. An attempt to understand a different world, a small isolated land surrounded by sea.

Thousands of years ago, through continuous volcanic eruptions, two hills, with a narrow strip of land joining them, emerged from the depths of the Aegean Sea. Thus, between Kos and Nisyros a small island was born, Giali. A forest of pines, arbutus, shrubs, and sea cedars covers part of it and for this aesthetic value, it was declared in 1982 a landscape of particular natural beauty and is therefore protected by international legislation. The island is uninhabited. In the northeastern part of the island, there is a perlite mine. In the Southwestern part there is another pumice stone mine. Around 22 workers are employed there. At the current rate of mining, after 60 years, the reserves of pumice stone will have been depleted and with them a large part of the island.
