Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin
“The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot”
Documentary
When Bruce Chatwin was dying of AIDS, his friend Werner Herzog made a final visit. As a parting gift, Chatwin gave him his rucksack. Thirty years later, Herzog sets out on his own journey, inspired by Chatwin’s passion for the nomadic life, uncovering stories of lost tribes, wanderers and dreamers.
VIBE
A poignant, reflective journey tracing the spirit of a legendary traveler. It feels like leafing through an old photo album, filled with wanderlust, the ache of loss, and the enduring power of stories.
