Encounters in the Natural World brings together five stunning films from legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog. Featuring previously unseen, breathtaking scenery and wildlife, these films span the globe, from desert to jungle to tropical to frozen. They detail the rich tapestry of life on our planet and how we interact with it. There are moments of visual poetry and profound insight. And there is always humour. These films, like all of Werner Herzog¹s work, shine a light on the way we live in the world. And we are the better for it.
