I Am Alive: Surviving The Andes Plane Crash

Starring: James Lentzsch, Kelly Haitz, Benjamin Josse

On Friday the 13th of October 1972, a plane carrying 45 rugby team members crashed in the Andes Mountains. For 72 days, the world thought they were dead. But what 16 survivors endured was far worse than death, driven to what would become headline-making acts of cannibalism in their struggle for life. I AM ALIVE: SURVIVING THE ANDES PLANE CRASH presents one of the most remarkable human survival stories of all time as it has never been told before: through the first person, on-camera account of survivor Nando Parrado, the best-selling author of Miracle in the Andes. His powerful account is accompanied by new, high-resolution imagery of photos shot by the survivors throughout their ordeal, rarely seen footage of the crash site, and re-creations of the crash and their struggle for survival. Nando's simple yet powerfully evocative storytelling allows viewers to experience the 72 days of heroism and tragedy through the eyes and memories of a man who lived it.
