Storyville Season 1 Full Episode Guide

Episode 5 - Paradise Lost
Episode 4 - Naughty Boy
First Aired: December. 06,1997

A profile of Danish film-maker Ole Ege, whose work pushed the boundaries of acceptability when Denmark legalized pornography in 1969.

Episode 3 - Wednesday
First Aired: November. 29,1997

Victor Kossakovsky searched obsessively for inhabitants of St. Petersburg who were born on Wednesday 19 July 1961, his own birthday, in former Leningrad. Fifty-one women and fifty men fitted the profile. In the course of time a few of these 101 people had died, others had moved to another community or abroad. But in 1995 Kossakovsky managed to capture on film all seventy remaining residents, in the street, at work or simply at home. While doing so he spent time with doctors and patients, entertainers and businessmen, construction workers and homeless people. In his unorthodox style Kossakovsky has produced a beautiful profile of people in their thirties in St. Petersburg.

Episode 1 - Little Dieter Needs to Fly
First Aired: November. 15,1997

Three decades after German-American pilot Dieter Dengler was shot down over Laos, he returns to the places where he was held prisoner during the early years of the Vietnam War. Accompanied by director Werner Herzog, Dengler describes in unusually candid detail his captivity, the friendships he made and his daring escape. Not willing to stop there, Herzog even persuades his subject to re-enact certain tortures, with the help of some willing local villagers.
