Reseña: In October 1972 Nando Parrado and his rugby club teammates were on a flight from Uruguay to Chile when their plane crashed into a mountain. Miraculously many of the passengers survived but Nandos mother and sister died and he was unconscious for three days. Stranded more than 11000 feet up in the wilderness of the Andes the survivors soon heard that the search for them had been called off - and realise the only food for miles around was the bodies of their dead friends ... In a last desperate bid for safety Nando and a teammate set off in search of help. They climbed 17000-foot-high mountains facing death at every step but inspired by his love for his family Nando drove them on until finally 72 days after the crash they found rescue.
