Description

In October 1972, a flight carrying a rugby team and their supporters crashed high in the unforgiving Andes mountains. Facing unimaginable cold, starvation, and isolation, the survivors endured a harrowing ten weeks against the brutal forces of nature. Their fight for survival pushed them to the absolute limits of human endurance and forced them to make impossible choices. This is the gripping, true account of their resilience and the extraordinary will to live that ultimately saw sixteen souls emerge from the frozen wilderness.
