### A Long-Awaited Tribute
Tentatively titled **”Sting: Walking on the Edge”**, the documentary has been in the works for nearly two years.

It explores his evolution from The Police’s spiky-haired frontman to a solo artist whose music has challenged political norms, embraced world cultures, and reflected deep introspection.

For fans of **The Police**, the film will include **rare rehearsals and recording sessions** from the band’s early days, including material from the making of legendary albums like *Outlandos d’Amour*, *Zenyatta Mondatta*, and *Synchronicity*. Collaborators like **Andy Summers** and **Stewart Copeland** provide candid reflections on the band’s chemistry, conflicts, and eventual disbandment.
The documentary doesn’t shy away from tension—addressing the volatile relationship between Sting and his bandmates, the pressures of sudden international fame, and the decisions that led to Sting’s solo breakout.
