Stranded: I've Come from a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains

In 1972, a plane crashed high in the Andean mountains. The survivors endured cold and helplessness with remarkable fortitude and solidarity. When they ran out of food, they ate the bodies of the dead. Eventually, near death after over two months, two of them trekked for ten days and found help. This astonishing documentary tells their stories in their own words. There are a few pictures from the time; some reconstruction; and footage from a visit they took with their families over 30 years later to the site of the crash. It's understated, and slow, but brilliantly does justice to their experience and leaves the viewer with a sense of profound amazement at what humans at their best can do in adversity. And how life is always worth saving, even when all appears lost.
