Society of the Snow (La sociedad de la nieve) · Spain (2023)
In October 1972 a chartered flight carrying a Uruguayan rugby team crashed in the Andes. What followed was seventy-two days on a glacier at 3,600 metres with no rescue coming.
Director J.A. Bayona tells the story without Hollywood spectacle. He stays close to the cold, the waiting and the difficult decisions the survivors had to make to stay alive. The film was selected as the Spanish entry for the Academy Awards and won the Goya for Best Film.
