Airship engineer Dr. Graham Dorrington embarks on a trip to the giant Kaieteur Falls in the heart of Guyana, hoping to fly his helium-filled invention above the tree tops. But this logistic effort will not be without risk. Twelve years ago, a similar expedition into the unique habitat of the canopy ended in disaster when Dorrington's friend Dieter Plage fell to his death. With the expedition is Werner Herzog, setting out now with a new prototype of the airship into the Lost World of the pristine rain forest of this little explored area of the world, to record and tell this unique story in an extraordinary, feature-documentary film.

Director: Werner Herzog

This is my favorite magic realistic documentary of the highest level imaginable about a man with a life secret that consumes him by a deep grief and making a kind of confession before the camera. And the local man who gives it all wings as... Der Himmel Uber Berlin. You can feel this sorrow during the entire movie... as emotional driven moving pictures despites the technological wonder of the white diamond zepplin and his achievements as an engineer. This movie is an entire healing process for this man. I'm sure of this. The songs and music reached the heavens were dead is NO MORE.

Mark Anthony is such a legend- would love to know what became of him - did he ever see his Mammy in Spain? Also of course Graham is an amazing, open poetic guy. Well done Mr Herzog!!
