This Werner Herzog documentary double-feature includes the 1971 Fata Morgana and the 1992 Lessons of Darkness. 

Fata Morgana is an experimental film about that retells creation myths through desert mirage. Separated into three parts: Creation, Paradise, and The Golden Age. It's lyrical and poetic. Every image is real, but don't believe your eyes. Watch the trailer here.

Lessons of Darkness focuses on the retreat from Kuwait after the first Gulf War, the Iraqi army sets fire to the country's oil fields. In this documentary, filmmaker Werner Herzog films the raging flames while narrating from the perspective of a confused alien visitor, musing on the strangeness of the landscape. As the fires burn, helicopter shots display the extent of the damage. On the ground, firefighters do their best to control things, while Kuwaiti women recount atrocities perpetrated by the Iraqis.
