This week while driving home from work I was able to Listen to Fresh Air on NPR with Terry Gross, who interviewed Werner Hertzog, the German filmmaker. He discusses his new film Rescue Dawn, a Hollywood adaptation of his 1997 documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly. Both the movie and the documentary are based on the true story of Dieter Dengler, the only U.S. pilot to successfully escape from a North Vietnamese-controlled prison.This is the interview link: Herzog on the Heroic Journey in 'Rescue Dawn'
Werner is so interesting. It got me thinking of those lists: Who would you like to invite to a dinner party? Werner would be at the top of my list. I'll post my list (s) soon.
