About a hero

After Dorem Clery supposedly commits suicide in despair over losing his job to a machine, Werner Herzog travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing death. But Herzog, the narrator of the film, is not who he seems, and the film is not what we expect. ABOUT A HERO is first and foremost a true crime written by an AI and adapted to the screen by humans. But in parallel to this, the film documents the process behind making it, and explores the vast potential of AI as a co-creating entity, leaving the audience with reflections on both moral and ethical questions and about the future of artistic expression.
