The White Diamond
First screened in January 2006
Director: Werner Herzog. Documentary. Profile of Graham Dorrington, an English designer, engineer, and pilot of helium-powered airships, who intends to use these craft to survey the rain-forest canopy of Guyana. Twitter Capsule:

Consistency and reach of Herzog's visions make even peripheral studies valuable. Still, for someone so moved by rule-breakers, his template has gotten pretty fixed.
