Herzog, Green Screen, Lang

Studio 360

Studio 360 escapes into the jungle. Werner Herzog talks with Kurt Andersen about his new movie, Rescue Dawn, which tells the true story of the mind-boggling heroics and survival skills of Vietnam War pilot Dieter Dengler. Movie actors tell us what it’s like working with a green screen —- where their computer generated costars get filled in later. And singer k.d. lang looks back on her Canadian roots.
