  • Little Dieter Needs to Fly (German: Flucht aus Laos, lit. 'Escape from Laos') is a 1997 German-British-French documentary film written and directed by Werner Herzog, produced by Werner Herzog Filmproduktion, and premiered on German television.
    The film follows the life of Dieter Dengler, in particular being shot down during the Vietnam War and his capture, imprisonment, escape, and rescue.
    Herzog subsequently directed Rescue Dawn, a feature film based on the events of Dengler's capture, imprisonment, escape, and rescue. That film, starring Christian Bale as Dengler, was released on 24 July 2007.

    Met Dieter from his book Escape from Laos, the most amazing read of the Vietnam war for me. This documentary captures his emotional return from a place few humans will ever experience. Herzog nails it. Both are hero's in my world. RIP Dieter

    Dieter and Duane were brothers. I felt really sad after knowing the fact that Duane was killed at just the age of 26years. They both were indeed brothers. True Bromance! It's sad, Duane's body wasn't recovered and his details are very limited. Did he have a family? What would have happened to that young man's body after nearly 40 years. I hope heaven is for real and both of them are together!
    Handsome brave men! Love you!

    Another fabulous documentary by Werner Herzog. Dieter had such an amazing spirit. I love how he opens and closes the door and shows off his food stocks in his emergency provisions pantry. Growing up during WW2 you can feel his hunger and his determination. I must say the napalm scenes always has stood out in my memory with the Tuvan throat singing - the images and the sound were so peculiar and bizarre sounding. I've got to watch this documentary again. RIP Dieter! ❤ (My throat got tight when I saw the missing man formation fly over in the postscript! Hope you are flying through the clouds in Heaven Dieter!)

    WOW...that was such a powerful statement...HAVING THE PRIVILEGE OF OPENING AND CLOSING A DOOR. HAVING THAT FREEDOM...GOOSEBUMPS! I never thought of it like that before cuz opening and closing the door is done mostly without even thinking about it, it's crazy to think we take that privilege for granted all the time. powerfull stuff

    Dieters suicide proves that you can end your own life with dignity on your own terms. He was in control of his life and his own death. I don't mourn his passing. I respect his struggle to live and I respect his decision to die. Great man. I only lament that his great greatness is no longer with us.

    Astounding. Reference to Herzog's movie "Rescue Dawn". I am reminded of another true story, from WW2: "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand (a phenomenal book). This planet gives rise to such extremes. Herzog is in a top class of his own.

      @@glenndouglas8822 Turns out, rather disappointingly, that skullduggery may actually have nothing to do with skulls :( leave it to Merriam/Webster to be complete buzzkillers:
      “Skulduggery, which can also be spelled "skullduggery," was first documented in the mid-19th century spelled as "scull-duggery."
      Etymologists aren't sure exactly how the word arrived in English, but they do not believe it has anything to do with skulls.
      It is possibly derived from the now-very-rare "sculduddery," a term once used to refer to gross or lewd conduct, but unfortunately the origins of that word are also unknown”
      But ok, I guess I can live with the gross or lewd conduct as well, I mean, “a poirates loife fer me”. And all that …

    Endearing and utterly priceless doc one of my all time favs of alltime. Good things can result from very bad just look at Vietnam now a powerhouse of SE Asia global manufacturing out competing China on prive, quality with rapid lead-times. My buddy Palmer from Austin has a factory and home there producing lamps for Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn Home. Its kudos to the strength solely of the Vietnamese people putting up with 150 years of Western invasions.

    So sad how he ended his life, i hope he researched his father and found out all he could about him during his war?, the picture to me looks like he has luftwaffe collar boards on a wehrmacht uniform?, he more than likely was a forward air controller, maybe where the interest in flying came from!!, its not about the uniform its about the type of man who's made to wear it, a very interesting if not complex man, who was forever troubled through his experience, RIP deiter....

      The nightmares and demons from his ordeal had never left him and he checked out on his own terms.
      Extraordinary life and remarkable survival story, but it would leave an indelible mark on anyone.
      Edit: He was also diagnosed with ALS sometime in 2001, which was probably another contributing factor.
      Requiescat in pace Dieter Dengler. We hope you have finally found your peace.
