Join Kelli as she tells the amazing story of Uruguayan Flight 571, where 45 people crashed into the snowy peaks on the Andes Mountains on the border of Argentina and Chile. After ten weeks, two of the 16 survivors emerged from the mountains. To survive, they had to do the unthinkable - they had to cannibalize the flesh of their dead friends and relatives.

This is a story of resilience, survival, and how far one will go to make it out alive.
