Wings of Hope

Perhaps there is nothing more Herzogian than asking a survivor of a place crash about the crash while travelling in a plane (retracing the flight). But, again, as this is Herzog, this is done with the utmost compassion and a genuine desire to re-enact tragedy for the purposes of therapy (in this case for Juliane Koepcke). Herzog's personal link to the disaster - he was almost on the flight - adds to the sincerity of the film. It really is a remarkable story.

Amazing story which didn't benefit much from the film treatment. All in all, it serves to show how Juliane Koepcke is one of the most stoic survivors ever.
