Using Chatwin’s heralded books and obsession with nomadic cultures as a guide, Herzog and his crew journey from the rugged wilds of South America’s southern tip to the lushly verdant Black Mountains of Wales to the harshly beautiful Australian outback, interviewing fellow explorers, Chatwin biographers and his widow along the way.

NOMAD: IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF BRUCE CHATWIN – Review by Liz Braun

You can see why Werner Herzog and Bruce Chatwin would be fast friends, given their shared fascination with all things weird and wonderful about this planet. Nomad: In The Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin is Herzog’s new documentary about his dear friend Chatwin — bon vivant, traveller and prolific author. The film is an homage to friendship, travel and the art of storytelling and it’s as much about the filmmaker as it is about Chatwin; what a bonus.
