Werner We Love You

2017, German. Directed by Robin Epkenhans & Rainer Bärensprung.

This documentary tells the life story of 77-year-old Werner Herzog from Bielefeld, who has survived in his own unique way despite a life marked by experiences of violence.

When Werner Herzog was still a child, his father was beaten to death before his eyes. His mother was overwhelmed with his upbringing and thereupon shipped him off to one of the toughest youth welfare institutions in Freistatt. This was followed by a career as a bouncer in the city's most notorious music club and an attempt to start a family. Today, the 77-year-old from Bielefeld lives with his dog Lucky in a lonely house in the country. Despite adverse living conditions, he has survived in his own unique and inimitable way.
