  • Miracle of the Andes survivor Roberto Canessa sat down to talk about Netflix's Society of the Snow and how the film tells more of the story.
    Society of the Snow is streaming now on Netflix: www.netflix.com/title/81268316
    Synopsis: In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of its 45 passengers survived the accident. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.

    Roberto Canessa is a very well respected and wonderful pediatric cardiologist. How has this man not given the Lifetime Humanitarian Award. He has spent his life saving others, literally. I am in awe of you Roberto. You are one of a kind.

      He also has a cameo in the movie. He is the doctor walking behind the actor playing him as he’s entering the hospital and people are putting rosaries around his neck.
      It’s anyone’s guess who was more star struck. The actor who had the honor of playing the best humanitarian in the last 100 years or the real Roberto Canessa whose behind the actor who nailed his performance perfectly

    I’ve been teaching high school English for 35 years now. The novel, Alive: Survival in the Andes, by Piers Paul Read, has been an assigned reading project for over 30 years. My students absolutely devour this novel. I’ve shown the movie, Alive (1993) for a while now , and my students seemed to like it as a companion to the novel. I recently showed one of my classes Society of the Snow and they cannot stop delving into this story. Its themes of perseverance and survival of the human spirit are all encompassing. There are many valuable lessons to be learned from this story.

    While watching society of the snow with my sister, after the plane crashed and they were in the coldest period(right at the beginning) I asked my sister if she would just end it for herself right there. I told her I would’ve ended the suffering and watching my friends die. This was right after they all told each other poems about being stuck in the snow and the radio had said they stopped looking. After watching them pop up from the snow like flowers and how they had so much perseverance to survive. As if they would do anything to survive and Nando and Roberto walking through snow for days just for a chance at survival. It made me start to think of my will would be that strong if I had to come face to face with death. I seriously can’t see myself enduring all of what these brave men endured. Truly inspiring!

      I agree their mindset is to the next level. I watched it last night I could not eat the whole day thinking it was the meat of the body they ate. I am asking myself if I have wanted to survive like this but they all have successful fulfilled life. The ending part really got to my head where they show the bones. I imagine the smell of the corpse. When they had to cut it while they are stuck aftr the avalanche. I could not sleep, could not turn off the light and even have heavy heart dreaming about it. I've watched Dahmer but this one is a diff level bec it is out of will and they had to scrape the bones to survive.

    What happened to the skull/head? I don't think they ate it and it is still whole bec of snow? There are still bodies left like lilia? Did they retrieve the heads? I learned a lot life, death, survival, faith. The idea of eating the body still makes me wanna puke but in the end, the muscles/meat will be eaten by worms or rot anyway. Also, this is a pact they did not went thru so much trauma of eating another human. It's like an experiement healthy young men in snow with no food and water.
