Overview: Werner Herzog is a German filmmaker, actor, opera director and author. Regarded as a pioneer of New German Cinema, his films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, people with unusual talents in obscure fields or individuals in conflict with nature. His style involves avoiding storyboards, emphasizing improvisation and placing his cast and crew into real situations mirroring those in the film they are working on.

Fitzcarraldo: The Original Story: Would-be rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an Irishman known in Peru as Fitzcarraldo, is determined to transport a steamship over a steep hill to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon basin. The character is inspired by Peruvian rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald, who once transported a disassembled steamboat over the Isthmus of Fitzcarrald.
Pilgrims: Becoming the Path Itself: Two major events in the Buddhist world occurred in 2002. In January, the small village of Bodhgaya in Bihar, India, was chosen by the Dalai Lama as the site for the highly important Kalachakra Initiation ceremony. Around half-million pilgrims made their way there by any means possible. In May, at the holy Mount Kailash in Tibet, the celebration of the Buddha’s birth and death was particularly auspicious in this Year of the Horse and the usual trickle of pilgrims swelled to tens of thousands. Featuring text by Werner Herzog, his wife, Lena, presents this evocative album of 146 color images of the holy and the penitent.
