MCT:May 6, 2008One of my favorites of all time, and of director Werner Herzog. Truly an amazing piece of documentary film work. Go check this one out, as well as "Rescue Dawn", the movie version of the story of Dieter Dengler. Both are directed by Herzog.

Powerful, arresting documentary that Herzog re-filmed and repackaged as Rescue Dawn. Dieter Dengler is on screen for most of the hour plus, providing much of the narrative structure, detailing with an unrelenting monotone, stories of such horror and pain, it's a wonder his mind simply didn't shut down. Elegant, timely, almost a masterpiece and, unlike much of of what is termed "documentary" now, Little Dieter is almost without bias.

Insfired to fly by P52s bombing germany and then he flies for them, and becomes Vietnam POW? I almost believed it was true!

MCT:August 23, 2007Liked it a lot. An effectively personal story. Puts things in perspective. Kind of wish it was longer, but it didn't need to be. Very well put together.

another great Herzog documentary. This was rough, I have no idea how Dieter got out of his ordeal so optimistic. Kudos to him. Watch this movie!

This is Herzog's original documentary of the true story upon which the new movie "Rescue Dawn" is based. Like Herzog, Dengler grew up impoverished in the German countryside while Nazi's waged their campaign of destruction, genocide, and racial hegemony. Coming to America he joined the military and on his first mission, early in the Vietnam war, he was shot down and captured. While his struggle for survival was remarkable and eventual escape incredible, even more astonishing is the love and respect he holds for the society that was once his captor.
