- These survivors defied the odds. Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re looking at the harrowing true story behind the Netflix movie “Society of the Snow”. When Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed in the Andes in October 1972, the survivors faced insurmountable odds - including starvation. Soon, the only source of food was the dead. This is the true story that inspired Showtime's "Yellowjackets". Do you think YOU could survive in a situation like this? Be honest with us in the comments!

Hi WatchMojo! I apologize. I am off subject... I just had to ask, have you heard anything about DB Cooper's identity being revealed? If you can please respond. I know that you stay extremely busy.
Love It WatchMojo.
As Uruguayan,
Thanks for the video🫶
I don’t think anyone truly knows what they are capable of until put in a situation like this.
Beautifully narrated, I’m impressed!! Your words were chosen with such respect and the tone of your voice gave this video the respect this story deserves. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻
Roberto Canessa, one of the survivors, saved my brother's life when he was just 9 months old. My brother suffered a "heart flu" and was in ICU for 2 weeks under Canessa's supervision. How small is the world and Uruguay for this to actually happen. In my mind, this man survived so he could save countless of babies and kids as a infant cardiologist (or however it is called)
❤
I just read Dr. Canessa's book. The man is a certified miracle worker.
It's really unfair and cruel for people to give the survivors crap about needing to resort to cannibalism. NEED. It's not like they were just wanting to eat people.
Antropophagy is the correct term
Not cannibalism. Anthropophagy!!
Oh sorry! I've never heard that term before!@@karlamelissa3889
thanks for correcting me. I hadn't heard that before!@@karlamelissa3889
@catalinatymczyszyn1833 it's literally the same thing?
If a movie like this didn’t win, best picture, the whole system is a sham. Cinematography acting first rate. It was a master class in filmmaking and storytelling.
they didn't even got nominated.. just the foreign section.
@@fredvasquez4201it was chosen to represent Spain, it could not get nominated as best picture.
Hahaha a 100% white amazing movie. Never gonnna happen
It's also nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyle. I would've also nominated it in Best Picture, Best Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. Sadly, this year the competition is very stiff. Thus, it might go away empty handed.
it's a shame that they have been nominated for only 2 categories. unfair.
People can judge all they want but these guys did what they had to do to survive
I have incredible respect for those who fought so hard to survive.
They deserved more Oscars’ nominations
I KNOW! Only 2 is an insult. 😡
Their acting is 100x times more brilliant than any of the nominees. Of course nominees are all A-Listers, and mostly mainstream. So it’s understandable. But this film, this cast and crew, deserve all the nominations and awards!
Deberían haber tenido todas las categorías nominadas y ganar todas. Shame on you Hollywood.
Apart from its nomination in Best International Film and Best Makeup and Hairstyle, I would've also nominated it in Best Picture, Best Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. Sadly, this year the competition is very stiff. Thus, it might go away empty handed. 😢
Some of the real survivors have small roles in the movie, Roberto was the Doctor who care for them when they got to the hospital, the one making the call telling the rest that they survived is Carlos paes playing as his father, the one that opens the door at the airport is the real Fernando Nando opening the door for his sister and mother.
wow
Thanks for clarification
This movie is really heart wrenching. Just imagine how sunlight and heat will be a luxury for some. This is a story of how much human can endure to survive and to live to told that story. ♥️
That's true. Although makes me wonder why they didn't use their lighters to start fires with the luggage and rags to keep warm. Each time they pulled out lighters to smoke cigarettes, I thought "use it to make a fire!"
@@coolbreeze5683They tried, but everything was too wet and when they managed to, the fire would last only a short time. They didn't want to keep burning "resources" they may need for other things, just for a short while of fire. So they stopped trying. They explained this many times in interviews.
Hi greetings from Malaysia. Watched this movie and I cried. These men are true heroes and survivors..
Thank you from Uruguay. This is a love life story.
I’m Chilean , so this is a very important story for us, we don’t even care that they eat human flesh, because they have to , there wasn’t another way to survive, so every time I take a plane to cross The Andes y just pray and thank God that it didn’t happened to me or anyone again , the Andes are the most amazing mountains but it’s also a cemetery for anyone, what they achieve it’s a miracle
Chile...what a beautiful country, i love it. Greetings from Linares, region del Maule
Maybe we don't judge them now, but in the 70's the media was awful at them, specifically "El mercurio" who was the one that give the news.

The twist of the narrator made me cry. I did not expect that.❤❤😢
Right!!! I was expecting him to be like the lone survivor or something after not wanting to go to the trip what so ever. Then the story started to feel a little rushed and I was like wtf but why was he the narrator? how if he didn’t survive to tell his story
@@MrJay3333 I know right! Im thinking he was one of the survivors was why he was talking so much . That broke my heart when he died I’m like WTF!
The director made him the narrator to give a voice to the dead. So that the focus of the film wasn't just on the survivors, but the ones who didn't make it as well.
@@RinChan82 and so that we would feel the same grief that the survivors felt each time they lost someone
I know, right?!
This movie changed my outlook on this tragic event in latin American history. I used to not want to know about this. The previous movies made me not want to know. But this movie for sure touched my heart and made me see the events in a different way. I feel I know the characters and I was with them in the movie.

I watched the movie the day it came out on Netflix. And OMG. It captured so much of the feeling and emotion of the survivors and honored those who died just as much as those who lived. A well made film that touched my cynical heart
Same! When I saw the trailer, and that it was made in the original accent... I was like, midnight and Netflix! Such a fantastic film!
Immersive…
Beautifully done…
Bayona and his team at their very best
This movie is on another level! Watching this movie and hearing about what these people went through for the first time changed my life. This is a pivitol time in my life and seeing this completey changed my perspective on things.

I hope they release the director's cut in theaters.
I’ve seen the older movie about this and it was pretty interesting but heartbreaking considering it’s a real story, I believe it was called “Alive”.
This whole situation just sounds like genuine hell on earth, I’m glad the survivors are doing okay now. I can’t imagine living through that and then being criticized for doing what it took to survive.. I really hope they know that they did nothing wrong and are living happily.
I was just a kid when I saw Alive but it stuck with me my whole life. Those men went through so much it's truly heartbreaking.
Alive is a hollywood imagination of the real tragedy. The survivors didnt like that movie. this one has uruguayan actors at least, not "americans"
The survivors actually described their first night there as hell on earth.
Very touching and moving how their spirit and faith prevailed against all odds. Thats why they survived...
people who are judging never have been in such a hopeless situation like this. And pray to god and be blessed that you most likely never will be, like do you understand, there is no life up there, nothing will survive up there, like one of the actors said in the movie “this is a cemetery”
I'm not sure that anyone IS judging them. 99% of people would have done the same.
You can tell they practice the pronunciation of the names XD Well done.
The survivors have worked on a project to tell their own story for many years, and I'm glad they finally made it. "Alive" is not a terrible film and it has great acting, but it's a bad adaptation of the real event, with many inaccuracies and the obvious lack of Uruguayan idiosyncasy.
Because of the pilots mistake, the survivors thought they were in Chile, BUT in reality they were still in Argentine territory, which is why Parrado and Canessa were surprised to see all those mountains. If they walked to Argentina, there was a Ski Resort just 25 km (15 miles) East of them in Argentina, and the terrain was much easier to travel on. But they took the Long Road to Chile, almost 40 miles.
Edit: at some point one of the survivors saw a road in the Argentine side, but the others didnt think that would be a road so they continued to the West to Chile. In the movie Alive (1993) there is a scene that showed that.
oh shitt
The Ski Resort was abandoned by that year though. They'd have had shelter to rest but not someone to tell them they're alive. I'm sure they would have been more near civilization than what they later did tho
Wow just wow
@@carolinaelichalt7913I've read in a couple of places that, to get to the ski resort, they would have had to cross a river, which was realistically impossible to do at that time of the year, besides there are hiking expeditions to get to the crashing site nowadays and, even with the geographic knowledge and technology we have to get there, it's still like one day on off road driving, 2 days horseback and some more days walking to get there from the NEAREST town to the crash site, it wasn't any easier travelling to the Argentinean side
Tomaron la decisión correcta al ir hacia Chile, lo demás son solo conjeturas
Amazing movie, it still lingers on in my head
Masterpiece!
I hope they release the director's cut in theaters. This film is as close to prefect / a masterpiece in storytelling as you're going to get. It's not just a movie, it's an experience... Bayona makes you feel like if you're there with them through it all.
GIVE THIS MOVIE THE OSCAR
Βest movie on Netflix right now
I haven’t seen this version of the movie, but my wife at the time and myself saw Alive in the theater in ‘93.
That was a movie that you never forget. I don’t blame anyone for what they did to survive.
It’s so easy for us to say what we’d do in a situation like this.
If you’ve ever been starving, then you know the reality of the situation.
I write this from a warm cabin in Alaska. Today it is -17*F.
I can only imagine the feeling that experienced with the avalanche and it being -20*F.
You must have food to generate warmth your body.
I pray all who perished were welcomed into the arms of Christ Jesus.

Go watch this new version “society of the snow” it’s 1000000 better than “alive”
It is a great movie, touching and heart wrenching. Truly recommended.
I've been hearing this story since I can remember, obviously what everyone was talking about and I was hesitant to watch this movie just because the only thing I heard about it, they ate the people who died. This is the first time in over 50 years the story has been told by the survivors, is truly THE BEST MOVIE I've has seen and the message is so powerful, I think about the things we take for granted, we complain about stupid things and forget what is really important and for me this is such an inspiration, how to overcome the most intense horrifying experience, knowing there are moments in life" we can't wait to be rescue" but we have to get up and move forward even thought we don't know the final result. Like Arturo Noriega said " Heroes without capes"
I'm obsessed with this movie
I was very moved by Society of the Snow. I would have liked to see some more of the period after they were rescued. Interesting to hear what happened when people realised what must have happened.
The ending they chose with all of them together like they were in the plane but now safe and warm was beautiful though. That bond they forged must be so strong.
Of course the people that criticize them for cannibalism are doing so with a full stomach of their favorite foods. Not having the slightest idea of what they went through.
Amazing movie and story behind. I hope they get the Oscar.
Apart from its nomination in Best International Film and Best Makeup and Hairstyle, I would've also nominated it in Best Picture, Best Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. Sadly, this year the competition is very stiff. Thus, it might go away empty handed. 😢
Only when we face the real possibility of an absolute death it's the moment we're willing to do anything to survive. None of us should criticise them or talk trash about this event, they did what they had to with what they had at their disposal. Was it a tragedy? Absolutely, but from this terrible event something beautiful came out of it: a second chance in life. How many people can actually say that...?
And La Sociedad De La Nieve was great!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible. Emotional. Realistic. In awe of director, actors, and all who worked on the film, including the amazing survivors who are alive today to tell the stories of all and to be told with honor dignity and respect. Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
The sad thing was that even though they survived, they were ostracized and demonized by their peers. As if they could ever understand what it could have been like when your back is against the wall and your body is literally fighting to survive. They did what they had to. No one should judge them unless they were put in the same situation. 😠
It’s genuinely so infuriating, anybody faced with this situation would do the same as they did… It’s not like they wanted to and they’re probably haunted about having to do it… The trauma of this tragedy is already awful enough for them without judgement from other people adding to it..
This is a blatant lie. I'm from Uruguay, no-one shunned them, they even receibed a letter from the Pope himself, congratulationg them about how fighting to survive and consuming meat as conmunion was the right thing to do, and letting themselves die would have been a sin. Of course there are a lot of people with morbid curiosity, but they werent shunned, they have lived very sucesful lifes in Uruguay, all of them all well off, had children and grand children.
I’m not from Uruguay, I’m from the US, but as someone who’s read Nando Parrado, Roberto Canessa, and Eduardo Strauch’s memoirs about the accident and 1 other book by a journalist, your comment is just plain wrong. I’m sure there were a few people who judged them, certainly, but across the board, people were incredibly understanding and offered compassion and support. Authorities and people from the medical community praised them for their ingenuity and resourcefulness, religious groups (most notably the Catholic Church) offered forgiveness and compassion. Most of the general public viewed these young men as heroes for saving each other. Even the families of people they ate were incredibly understanding of the situation and forgave them. The father of one of the deceased said he was happy there were 45 people on the plane because it allowed at least 16 to come home. Absolutely no one was “ostracized and demonized”
Nah, a man gotta eat. Meat is meat.
No es así hubo un pacto que incluso está documentado en sus cartas dónde donan sus cuerpos en caso de......
This is an incredible piece of film-making, of course, it's horrifying what they did, but who can judge, unless they are in a similar position, what one might actually resort to, to survive.?! and tbh we eat millions of sentient animals globally every day.
I remember watching the movie about this story decades ago... I was much younger then. It left a mark on my mind the scene of the crash, the chairs piling up against each other...
There was another movie made about this crash I believe in 1993 called "Alive". Both are hard to watch if you don't know the story. In their situation, they did what they had to in order to survive. I don't believe that you can judge someone unless you have been in the same situation so, for me, what they did was necessary and shouldn't be viewed as a crime.
There was a previous movie as well, which was even worse than Alive. This story will be remembered for all eternity.
this is one of the most interesting stories in my opinion
fernando and roberto are the bravest most hopeful ppl ever they saved the rest they deserve all the medals fkn grade A survivalists
As I understand, there was no radar at that time, so the control could only rely on constant communication with the pilot.
Fantastic movie!
It's not an easy watch, but it's a masterpiece in storytelling, and a movie I consider to be as close to a perfect film... you're not just watching a film... the way it's made, you are experiencing the story. Like so many other reviewers and reaction channels, I also think it got snubbed out of some well deserved Oscar nominations. Definitely watch it in the original Spanish so you can fully appreciate the acting. Bayona went above and beyond to make the film as authentic as possible... as a Spanish speaker, I appreciated so much that it was done in the native language and accents of the people involved... made it like a window into history.. it was just nominated for best foreign film and make up, but should have been nominated for so more.
It was an excellent movie. They shouldn’t be judged for what they had to do to survive.
The beginning of this video is a bit inaccurate. A flight from Montevideo to Santiago does not take 90 minutes but much longer. The 90 minutes flight was the distance between their overnight layover in Mendoza, Argentina and the Chilean capital. Even the movie subtly includes that detail, when a member of the crew draws a map of their route, turning south in order to have clearer passageway through the Andes. The point of origin he sketches is Mendoza and certainly not Montevideo which is nowhere close to the Andes range.
Una de las tragedias humanas más recordadas del mundo y no por la tragedia en sí...
The triumph of human will
I just got done watching this movie hours ago. My personal opinion? It was really good and more accurate than the original movie version and first attempt of the story called Alive (1993). I still like it but if you want the real accuracy of the story and events. I would go watch the 2023 movie version Society of the Snow.
It's a good thing some of them made it home. RIP to those who did not. WTF can judge...
eating the deceased to survive is one thing.. living with those memories after you survive .. talk about “survivors guilt” :< wouldn’t wish it on upon anyone
My favorite movies of 2023 (this film came out in theaters last year) are this and Godzilla Minus One. Regular English language Hollywood didn’t have a great year to say the least.
My dad told me stories of how the news blew UP when he was a teenager - he grew up in Santiago, so the story was all around him even more so.
I've listened to a few of survivors talk about how miraculous they find life. Very 🌟I wonder if anyone came home feeling the opposite, mentally damaged in a negative way.
Se não me engano um dos sobreviventes entrou em depressão profunda por alguns anos, se recusava a dar entrevista ou falar sobre o quê aconteceu.
This was a really good movie.
I doubt anyone is here who didn't see this movie, but if you haven't, stop what you're doing and go see it now. Now. I've been reading this story and everything about it for the last 50 years. Since I was 11 I've never lost sight of the story of these people. It literally robs me of my need and ability to b*tch. About anything. And the way their story is told in this brilliant film-I've seen thousands of films. Nothing was ever like this one. Nothing. You can't watch it and not be changed. Viva sons of Uruguay.
Thankyou for not using AI for the narration. I know that tech is really life-like and is getting better as time goes on, but at the moment, there's no substitute for a real human voice (and the difference IS clearly noticeable, for me anyway).
So easy for people to judge these boys for what they were FORCED to do to SURVIVE. They weren’t just cannibals and we all don’t know how we would act in the same circumstances.
This movie better win those Oscars! Very much deserve it!
Sometimes! right people have to study and make a good search to speak about things so sensitive and traumatic like this story; she said that they have to kill their own family to survive!! and that is incorrect and disrespectful to she said something like this, because they don't kill they own family to eat, nando ask to his friend. ¿Wath they go to do to eat, and his friend tells him I eat the pilot because for him we here and us family are dead; that's Wath really happens they don't even touch the body of his family, they eat part of the pilot,
Sometimes people talk wathever they wants to talk, forgetting that they talk about family tragedy and sentimental thing!

It would be interesting to see how this film compares against 1992's Alive.

What?!
No mention of the life saving cigarettes?!
Some years ago, before pandemics I was on the same plane than one of the survivors, since statistically its impossible to live 2 plane accidents, that was the flight that I feel more secure/confident ever, I was Highlander the immortal, nothings was going to happen. 😊
Just came to say raed the books, you won't regret it

How many survived again
45 souls on that plane (40 men and 5 women), only 16 men survived.
JA Bayona is the one that should've directed STAR WARS
Not Colin Trevorrow or JJ Abrams
He was the only reason why I watched the first episodes of THE RINGS OF POWER
It was more difficult to watch
I consider this to be one of the most impactful survival stories that exist. Even so, there are people who are criticizing this film for not complying with current "fashions" such as including a female character, a gay character, a black character or a vegan character among the survivors.
I hope that's not the case. Shouldn't change history just for that. And there were women on the plane but they died.
Wtf is wrong with people.... You don't change history to push some woke agenda. These aren't characters, they were/are real people. It would be so disrespectful to change them like that
If they were futbol players they would die when the hair cream run out

I find it hard to believe how clueless are so many people in the comments section
A man gotta eat, meat is meat.
Hello good nights
Hola good night
Morty survived
Well actually it's called anthropophagy not cannibalism, the difference being that the first it's the ones (animal or human), that consumes human flesh, the second it's for the animal or human that eats they same species and this was a one time thing so it's not considered cannibalism, because that's a common thing among some species
Never actually saw this movie
Check it, really, it’s far better than all the stupid woke movies.
They were talking about organ donation back in the 70s.
There’s a 1993 movie called ALIVE that was made on this same tragedy…
Isn't this premise similar to _Alive_ from 1993? A plane crash in the Andes, survival by cannibalism, etc.?
Edit: Thanks to those who clarified.
Yep. It’s just a remake of a movie that has already been done many times. Even “Alive” wasn’t the first film to cover this incident. I remember another one or two from the late 70’s / early 80’s also.
Yes, that was the first adaptation of what happened
because it is the same accident but from different books. and Alive is not very true in several scenes, the survivors never liked that representation. Now in Society of the snow, they were very active in behind the scenes and several cameos of the survivors in the film.
@@sofita1500Thanks for explaining. Slight deja vu on my part.
@@lizd.8655 not the first, but the most well-known prior to this one.
I'm looking forward to the sequel, Society of the Snow 2: Cannibal Boogaloo.
"Ice Age" finally got a live-action series!
Isn't this the same story that was told by the movie "Alive" in 1993?
Yes and no.
31 years ago Hollywood adapted a book into a movie and added a ton of stupid shit to make it more “exciting”, changed things around, changed names, and filmed it in English. Flash forward to today and a renowned Spaniard director with an ensemble cast of unknown Uruguayan and Argentine actors based a new film on a different book retelling this story, filmed it in Spanish (there’s English subtitles and a dub of course), and universally the survivors think this is a better told film way closer to the actual true story. And I’m glad we got a new version, it’s not even close how much better this film is.
If you saw Alive it’s another reason why you need to watch this. Also unlike Alive, this movie filmed in the real location of the accident.
Watched them both, and this is a better movie, Alive is ok but this has movie heart
@@AlexRN Yeah, that thing with the baby shoes between those two guys seems like Hollywood BS. I'll give it a watch.
Actually, I don't know about baby shoes but every time Nando went on an expedition he would take a show with him and gave it to another. When they left for the final one, he gave it to Carlitos Perez to keep, promising that they would see each other again. @@bradleyj.fortner2203
@@bradleyj.fortner2203 coincidentally that’s one of the things that were real (but Carlitos swears they were blue instead of red). I was referring to scenes like the floor giving in and characters almost falling to their deaths while holding for dear life, also by the end they just look like they just let their hair grew and that was it, there no signs of skin burns, extreme hunger or weakness which Society of the Snow captures incredibly well through makeup and the actors actually going into a rigorous diet to lose a lot of weight.

And everything was wet according to Roberto
How many times are they going to make this movie? Blatantly just profiting off of the tragedy of others.
Who is profiting of the tragedy of others, if the producers are the survivors?
@@robertoperezcastro6130 ask whoever made the movie the first time I guess
@@patientnation4901 the first time the movie bought the rights off a book written a couple of years after the tragedy. So the survivors got their due share. The problem was the families of those who didn’t return and whose names had to be changed for the 1993 movie.
This film makes amends with that and was first screened to the families of those who died.
That blatant profit , at least in the case of survivors and families of the dead passengers, goes to foundations and programmes in Uruguay to help in children’s education and heart disease.
The cost and effort of making this movie before it was released and succeeded exceeds the potential profit they thought may garner when it was just a piece of paper.

Copying a response from another poster, but he nailed it
Yes. 31 years ago Hollywood adapted a book into a movie and added a ton of stupid shit to make it more “exciting”, changed things around, changed names, and filmed it in English. Flash forward to today and a renowned Spaniard director with an ensemble cast of unknown Uruguayan and Argentine actors based a new film on a different book, filmed it in Spanish (there’s English subtitles and dub of course), and universally the survivors think this is a better told movie way closer to the actual true story. And I’m glad we got a new version, it’s not even close how much better this film is.
If you saw Alive it’s another reason why you need to watch this.
Because Alive was worse and Americanized.
@@KaoruGoyle I didn't know someone else posted this.
WATCH IT, and you'll understand. 😒
@@TheMoonlight2887 If only I could afford Netflix.
They already made a movie about this.
this movie doesn't have enough diversity and inclusion
90% of Uruguayans are white mediterranean and white anglosaxon. All the people in the plane was white, blonde, brunette and hegemonic. Maybe they should have cast a black man, an arab and a gay chinese to make you happy
nah still not enough.. every actor cast shoulda been a transsexual activist@@cosmicbarrilet86
The casting choices were very accurate indeed, and if you look at the phases of the actors in the movie and the phases of the survivors, and the people who died, they’re pretty much closer. Remember that these young men were rugby players from an upper class school. Many of them descended from Italians, Germans and English migrants. This part of America looks very European.
Isn't this a remake of the movie "Alive"?
Yes, it’s a remake of a remake. Even “Alive” wasn’t the first movie to cover this incident.

If you saw Alive it’s yet another reason why you need to watch this one. It is not a remake of a movie. It’s a different adaptation of the same real life story. It’s like if someone made a new movie about Jesus and ppl called it a remake of a previous movie about Jesus instead of a different adaptation of the Bible.
@@OriginalGrasshopperit’s not a remake of a movie. It’s an adaptation of a different book of the same real life event. You wouldn’t say “Passion of the Christ” is a remake of the “Jesus of Nazareth” movie instead of two movies based on a story of the Bible.
To be a "remake" Alive has to be original.
