:22:02
No one knows how long it's going to take
to pull a real steamship over a hill in thejungle...

:22:08
which is why Herzog needs three ships.
:22:10
While one of the ships stays in Iquitos
and another goes over the hill...

:22:13
Herzog can keep on shooting
with the third ship...

:22:16
including a crucial scene
in the Pongo das Mortes...

:22:18
the "Rapids of Death. "
:22:21
The Huallaga may be destroyed in the Pongo.
:22:24
We'll try to save it with, uh,
remote control from a helicopter.

:22:27
I'm not 100% sure whether it will make it.
:22:31
But I hope because there's
so much work and care and toil in it.

:22:36
Many, many people have given
their sweat and their...

:22:41
blood of their heart.
:22:43
And it's really beautiful.
I- I like the boats very much.

:22:46
Uh, very close to my heart.
I would like to keep them all.

:23:13
Did you sail the ship
all the way up the river from Iquitos?

:23:16
Yes. They had to come from Iquitos
all the way up here...

:23:20
which was quite hard.
:23:22
It's a very, very big distance.
Maybe 1,500 miles or 2,000 miles.

:23:26
Between Rio Urubamba
and Rio Camisea...

:23:29
we are pulling the boat now.
:23:33
After shooting in Iquitos...
:23:35
Herzog moves cast and crew
1,500 miles south...

:23:39
to his newjungle location
on the Rio Camisea.

:23:42
From Iquitos,
under the best of circumstances...

:23:44
it takes a full day
to reach the camp by air...

:23:47
with the last leg
in a small, single-engine plane...

:23:50
and over two weeks by boat
when the rivers are navigable at all.

:23:53
Since Herzog admits he could shoot
most of Fitzcarraldo right outside Iquitos...

:23:57
some people think
the remotejungle location...
