Movie Description

Even Dwarfs Started Small is a 1970 West German comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Werner Herzog. The film was shot on the Canary Islands, at Lanzarote. The film was produced during the same time period as Herzog's Fata Morgana and The Flying Doctors of East Africa, and there are visual and thematic connections between the three works. Notably, the goggles worn by the blind dwarfs are the same style as the goggles which several people wear in Fata Morgana.
