Determination acts as one of the most principal forces that drives the advancement or creation of new ideas and achievements. Within filmmaking, no one embodies this idea more than Werner Herzog. Burden of Dreams acts as an extraordinary testament to this near-mad obsession. As disease, plane crashes, war, and unpredictable weather threatened to tear the production apart, Herzog’s relentless drive blurred the line between dedication and delusion.
