So, I saw a documentary, Encounters at the End of the World, the other week at the Nickelodeon. It’s directed by the German director Werner Herzog who has this comical bluntness in his narration that makes him seem like a robot as he seems to portray everything else as absurd or long winded.

The documentary was about life at the South Pole, life of both humans and non humans. What makes the film so interesting were the interviews with those compelled to go to the South Pole. As Herzog put it, it was a convergence of professional dreamers, a collection of burnt out phd students, scientists, “philosophers”, and peace corp workers who happened to drop off of the planet to the South Pole.
Speaking of Herzog being a robot Here’s him getting shot in an interview.
