Beautiful

Although google categorised this film under the genre of adventure, it doesn't really fit in it. It's common for a documentary to show some real footages or images to make the film more impactful, but herzog does none of that.

Firstly, there weren't enough picture of videos to depict the crash. Werner instead takes us on a journey that Julianne has been through by revisiting the same crash sites. I personally found this way of storytelling in a documentary to be more impactful and gripping than merely showing images and elaborate narrations of the events.

The documentary isn't just about how and when the events spanned out, rather it's more about survival and the gruelling journey Julianne went through.
