The Dark Glow of the Mountains (1985) Documentary by Werner Herzog on Free Online Video

In this 45-minute documentary, Werner Herzog follows mountaineers Hans Kammerlander and Reinhold Messner as they undertake an ambitious climb in the Gasherbrum mountains. Herzog isn't so much interested in the technical aspects of mountaineering as he is in what drives Kammerlander and Messner to undertake such dangerous feats of mountain climbing again and again. As Herzog presses them about their motivations, they each give unique answers. Their climb is documented on 8mm film to the music of Popol Vuh. It's an interesting addition to Herzog's filmography, which frequently deals with encountering obstacles that seem impossible and potentially fatal.
