Daring in his approach and eclectic in his subject matter, director Werner Herzog is not only known for his challenging narrative films but his intriguing and varied documentaries. This series will focus on four of his 42 documentaries reflecting the diversity of his interests and his varying approaches.

Presented by Chuck Koplinski:

• Land of Silence and Darkness (1971) - Through examining Fini Straubinger, an old woman who has been deaf and blind since adolescence, and her work on behalf of other deaf and blind people, this film shows how the deaf and blind struggle to understand and accept a world from which they are almost wholly isolated.
• My Best Fiend (1999) - The love-hate relationship between Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski, the deep trust between the director and the actor, and their independently and simultaneously hatched plans to murder one another.
• Grizzly Man (2005) - A devastating and heart-rending take on grizzly bear activists Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard, who were killed in October of 2003 while living among grizzly bears in Alaska.
• Into the Abyss (2011) - Conversations with death row inmate Michael Perry and those affected by his crime serve as an examination of why people - and the state - kill.

 

Members only need to register one time for the full 2026 Documentary Series. There are no individual documentary film registrations.
