Watch STRANDED Tonight on Independent Lens

How far would you go to stay alive? The survivors of the well-known 1972 Andes plane crash recall what it took to live in the mountains for over 60 days with no food, water, or supplies. What they reveal is a story about one of humanity’s greatest taboos and one that asks the question, what would you do?

“[STRANDED] is an exceptional film, at once disturbing and elevating, deliberate yet powerful. It takes a story that we all think we know, one of the 20th century’s most familiar tales of resilience and survival, and demonstrates that we haven’t really known it at all,” Los Angeles Times.

STRANDED: The Andes Plane Crash Survivors airs tonight at 10:00 PM on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings).
