Storyville - Stranded! The Andes Plane Crash Survivors

Logo for Storyville - Stranded! The Andes Plane Crash Survivors

Documentary in which the survivors of a famous plane crash relive their experiences 30 years later. In 1972, a student rugby team boarded a small plane in Montevideo to fly to Chile, but 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.
