[RS.com] Little Dieter Needs to Fly (1997)

Little Dieter Needs to Fly (1997), a Werner Herzog documentary

In 1966, Dieter Dengler was shot down over Laos, captured, and, down to 85 pounds, escaped. Barefoot, surviving monsoons, leeches, and machete-wielding villagers, he was rescued. Now, near 60, living on Mt. Tamalpais, Dengler tells his story: a German lad surviving Allied bombings in World War II, postwar poverty, apprenticed to a smith, beaten regularly. At 18, he emigrates and peels potatoes in the U.S. Air Force. He leaves for California and college, then enlistment in the Navy to learn to fly. A quiet man of sorrows tells his story: war, capture, harrowing conditions, escape, and miraculous rescue. Where did he find the strength; how does he now live with his memories?

I think a lot of people have been looking for this documentary by Werner Herzog. I couldn't find it on here recently, so I searched it out, found it, and now I've posted it for your enjoyment. It's the one of the BEST documentaries I've ever seen. The way Dieter offhandedly describes his capture and torture makes you laugh out of heartache for him.
