  • In October 1972, a student rugby team boarded a small plane in Montevideo to fly across the Andes for a long weekend of playing rugby and partying in Chile. But they never reached their destination as a storm brought their plane down in the high Andes, leaving the survivors stranded on a remote glacier.
    Ill-equipped, with no food and little hope of rescue, the survivors faced extreme hardship and many life-or-death situations, including the agonising decision to eat the flesh of those killed in the crash to stay alive. Thirty years later, those that got down from the mountain relive their 72 days 'up there' to give this extraordinarily powerful, vivid and immediate account of human endurance and heroism.

      The question I am asking myself is: would I be able to eat human flesh? I guess we never know untill the need comes..

      ​​@@josealqueresOf course you would. You've never been starved in your life. Even when it comes to strict dieters, they still get some nutrients to stay alive and they're reassured in the knowledge there's food they can buy in shops if they need it.
      For these young people however there was NOTHING to eat whatsoever, and their desperate situation had no end in sight. Their bodies were eating themselves, their organs about to fail.
      That's when the organism start to scream for food and it pushes you to do whatever you have to do in order to survive.
      I've been a vegetarian for 30 years and the sight of meat disgusts me but I know I'd never hesitate to eat a human - providing they were already dead - in order to stay alive.
      If it wasn't me, it'd be a Condor or any other living organism eating that body anyway. I'd rather be me.

      @cardelljoseph8125 Před 3 měsíci +13

      Nando was a technical advisor in the film set. He and Roberto have seen it. They said it was well done but still fictional, and that if there was ever a movie made that accurately depicted what daily life was like no one would watch it, because it would be too horrific and graphic

    Oh man, even though I thought Roberto Canessas thoughts were very insightful, the moment he started eating/crunching snow WHILE he was talking about what it meant to have had to resort to eating parts of their friends .. it was a weird mix of cringe funny at realizing the involuntary inappropriateness and at the same time being touched by the weight of his words.. i can imagine it must have been some kind of coping mechanism in those moments, dealing with the weight of having to expose this experience to a camera..
    You can see he has thought deeply about everything that's happened.. all of them actually.. their testimonies are incredibly powerful..

      I didn't feel like it was a face palm. I read it as a very subtle way to show just a little bit of what they went through. Before they figured out how to melt the snow up on top of the fuselage and collect it in bottles to drink, they had to constantly eat snow - just as he is doing, desperately trying to quench their thirst and never really succeeding.

    Does anyone know why they haven't brought the bodies of those who did not make it back? I have not researched it, but it would seem possible, at least today..
    It just seems like a nightmare and somehow not right to leave them there, in that place they wanted to leave so much..

      From what I found online, only 13 of the bodies at the time were still whole, while the other 15 were just skeletons. I would imagine they didn't want to risk giving the wrong family the wrong one. So instead they had a priest and 12 men go where they made a common grave for everyone. This way the land would be blessed in a way and allow them all to be 'at peace' in a way

      All families agreed that the best place for them to stay was on the mountain. All families except one: Rafael Echevarren family. Why? Because he was one of the last guys to die and he was always saying "My name is Rafael Echevarren and Im going to come back home". So family decided to bring him back home.

    • @ailem2707
      @ailem2707 Před 26 dny +2

      At first, it was a political thing, since the rescue was done by the Chilean Air Force, but the bodies were on Argentinian soil (heck, the pilot of the rescue helicopter was even hesitant to land for that very same reason), so getting them out could be considered an act of war.
      Then came all the other reasons listed by the other comments
