Despite torture and starvation - at one point he weighed 85 pounds - he escaped and after a harrowing journey through the jungle on foot returned home. Today even comfort and success cannot dispel the demons of his past. In this remarkable award-winning documentary director Werner Herzog returns to the jungle with Dengler to tell an incredible tale of courage and survival against impossible oddds.
