Atmospheric recreations, narrated by the survivors, give a chilling sense of the wilderness, isolation, and brutal conditions these people endured. When a group of survivors return to the scene of the demolish in 2006 to pay their respects, filmmakers follow. Many of the survivors are accompanied by their children, some the same age as their fathers when the accident occurred. Sitting amid the sparkling snow-capped peaks of The Valley of Tears 35 year later, these men are able to insist their experience, including rare moments of profound beauty, in language that is heartfelt and hopeful.
The record of the 1972 plane wreck in the Andes and the struggles of the men aboard to survive seems to pop into the public awareness periodically over the three decades since it happened. “Stranded” is the latest documentary on the subject, and it’s the best I’ve seen. All 16 survivors participated. Director Gonzalo Arijon incorporates grainy, impressionistic, tranquil reenactments of the scenes the men portray. This enhances the audience’s narrate of the events without usurping the intelligent commentary of the survivors. The combination of interviews, some archival footage, and the dreamlike reenactments, which seem like memories, fabricate this retelling of the record more keen than any chronicle adaptation.
On Friday, October 13, 1972, a college rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay site out on Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 to Santiago, Chile, where they were to compete in a match. Having changed its route to avoid inclement weather, the plane descended too early over the mountains, severed both wings, and crash-landed high in the snow-covered Andes. Of the 45 people aboard, 29 survived the shatter, 23 uninjured. They didn’t have adequate clothing for the freezing conditions. Many had never seen snow before. And, even strictly rationed, food would only last a few days. They hoped to be rescued but could hear on the radio that the aerial search was called off due to heavy snow. And yet 16 of the young men spent 72 days on the mountain and lived to talk about it.

All survivors participated, but some say more than others. Fernando “Nando” Parrado, who wrote a book about his experiences, seems to have been a leader after the group lost its team captain. Roberto Canessa, who, with Nando, was responsible for the rescue, is the most pensive and analytical of the experience. Gustavo Zerbina is vibrant and opinionated. Those who had the strongest voices on the mountain have the most to say today. The film places no more emphasis on the men’s cannibalism than on any other element of their myth, for which I am grateful. I’ve never understood the fascination with the cannibalism. It’s the least arresting aspect of the ordeal. This is an wonderful account of survival and dash against all odds and against the indifference and supremacy of Nature. In Spanish with optional English subtitles.
The DVD (Zeitgeist 2009) : Bonus features are a US trailer (2 min) and a featurette, “The Making of Stranded” (52 min) . This is a loosely organized mix of interviews with survivors that were prick from the final edit of the film, some brief interviews with the director on spot, in which he emphasizes that this film is about the experiences of the men, not about action, and we expend time with some of the survivors as they narrate more details of their experiences to the young actors who will record them.
