You may know the story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, but you’ve never seen it told so intimately and with so much harrowing heart as in J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow. Adapted from the book by Pablo Vierci, the film achieves terrifying accuracy with painstaking recreations, on-location filming, and a young cast of South American newcomers.

Jenn and Joe continue a month on Survival Cannibalism with this beautiful retelling. Bayona chronicles not just the 72 days members of the Old Christians Club Rugby Team spent stranded in the Andes, but brings us into their lives before and after the disaster.
