    ‘Community of the Snow’ (La Sociedad de la Nieve) has captured the attention of audiences globally. Adapted from Pablo Vierci’s book, the movie retells the gripping account of the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 in the Andes mountains in 1972. Roberto Canessa and Nando Parrado embarked on a demanding expedition, ascending 15,260 feet and trekking approximately 38 miles over 10 grueling days to seek assistance. Their courage resulted in the rescue of 16 survivors after enduring 72 days in the harsh mountains.

    This film has quickly become one of the most-watched non-English language films on Netflix. ‘Community of the Snow’ has been put forward for two Academy Awards, specifically Best International Feature Film and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. The 2024 Oscars gala is set for March 10, 2024, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time / 4 p.m. Pacific Time on ABC.

    We recently had a conversation with real-life survivor Roberto Canessa about his initial viewing encounter with the film. Canessa reflected on the experience as deeply moving. “Truly, it leaves a marked impression,” he shared, stating his desire to watch it multiple times. “However, it consumes me to the point where I must rest for the remainder of the day.”

    “Yet, I can afford that indulgence at my age,” he chuckled. Observing the dramatization of their ordeal provides a sense of satisfaction that should not be dismissed. “The world awaited this juncture. It is a tale that continues to captivate, and I believe our collective experiences can serve as a valuable teaching… one that could potentially aid others.”

    Despite the difficulty of viewing it, Canessa finds comfort in confronting such hardship. “I am comfortably seated in a cinema, conversing with my companions, assured of their safety, acknowledging my inability to change the course of events; I must let things take their natural course.”

    While it is undeniably painful, it also offers a sense of comfort. The most challenging part of Roberto Canessa’s journey is now a part of history. It is now up to us to extract wisdom from it.
