"Survivor of 1972 Andes plane crash reveals harrowing tale of cannibalism in 'Society of the Snow'"

A survivor of the 1972 plane crash in the Andes Mountains, where passengers resorted to cannibalism to survive, reflects on the harrowing experience for the upcoming Netflix film "Society of the Snow." The movie, set to release on January 4, recreates the crash site and depicts the extraordinary lengths the survivors went through to stay alive. After 72 days, only 16 of the original 45 passengers were rescued. The survivors created a shelter in the fuselage, rationed their limited food supplies, and eventually made the difficult decision to consume the bodies of their deceased companions. The film aims to retell their story of resilience and faith in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
