This exceptional documentary tells one of the 20th Century's best-known tales of survival, the story of the 16 young Uruguayans who stayed alive for 72 days in the Andes because they did the unthinkable and ate the flesh of those who died. Candid interview and haunting recreations make this a film impossible to forget and shows that we haven't really known the story at all
This documentary recounts the harrowing story via firsthand accounts with those involved. Director Gonzalo Arijon shoots dramatic reenactments of the events; he intercuts this footage with clips of the press conference that greeted the men on their return, and recently recovered archival photographs.
