The White Diamond

A friend recommended this movie called "The White Diamond," a 2004 film by Werner Herzog. You may know Herzog from his 2006 dramatic feature "Rescue Dawn" about POW Dieter Dengler's escape from a Vietnamese prison camp.

This film is a documentary about a British aeronautical engineer's quest to fly an airship of his own design over the jungle canopy of Guyana in South America. Herzog tags along with him and gathers some interesting and quite poignant footage of the adventure, while telling the story of those involved amid some interesting aviation history. He also narrates and sounds just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, which made me laugh.

If you have Netflix, you can rent it there.
