“Thanks to this film you will truly understand what we have been through…”
One of the most beautiful films of 2024 can be seen on Netflix. The snow circle, by Juan Antonio Bayona, tells the moving story of the crash of Plane 571 in the Andes in 1972, which claimed the lives of 29 people, most of whom were players on a Uruguayan university rugby team. There are 16 of them who survived two months of hell in these mountains. A drama told multiple times on the big or small screen. But fifty years later the reality Fernando Parrado (played by Agustín Pardella in the film) explains this The snow circle is the film that best reflects what really happened there.
In this video for Netflix, Nando Parrado explains: “Thanks to this film you will truly understand what we have been through…”
The Uruguayan survivor lost his mother and sister in the accident. But he admits in the video that he is much more than just a survivor of this tragedy. Nando says his life for five decades hasn't just revolved around the crash. And if you want people to “remember us through this film, it’s ultimately up to them to create their own version of the miracle.”
