A very moving telling of survival. Back in 1972, a plane full of rugby players and some of their family crashed into the Andes. This is both a recounting of survival and the survivor "moving on" centered around (now Dr.) Roberto Canessa. The story is told in two parts, Part 1 from the perspective of a young Canessa and the struggle to survive and the trek to hike back to civilization and salvation for him and his companions. Part 2 is more of third party view of today's older and accomplished Dr. Canessa and how the experience has shaped the person he had become and that impact to his family and his interactions with his young patients. It will remind you that life is precious and we all need to not take things for granted.
