The White Diamond documentary film by Werner Herzog . It illustrates the history of aviation and depicts the struggles and triumphs of Graham Dorrington , an aeronautical engineer, who has designed and built a teardrop-shaped airship which he plans to fly over the forest canopies of Guyana . It features music composed by Ernst Reijseger , which was re-used in Herzog's 2005 film The Wild Blue Yonder
Most of the film focuses on Dorrington's flights near Kaieteur Falls , in Guyana . Dorrington discusses the mechanics of his flight, as well as his own struggles with uncertainty and the "heaviness" he feels after the death of the cinematographer Dieter Plage . The film also explores the Kaieteur Falls themselves, a local man named Marc Anthony Yhap, a diamond miner, and the white-tipped swifts (Aeronautes montivagus ) which roost in an inaccessible cave behind the falls.
The film holds a score of 83 (based on 12 reviews) on the film review aggregator website Metacritic [1] Rotten Tomatoes .[2]
