Stranded

documentary

The story of the Uraguayan footballers whose plane crashed in the Andes in 1972 and survived by eating the bodies of their dead comrades. The film featured talking heads of the survivors, some actual photos and a bizarre attempt at re-creating the actual experience, using damaged film stock, excessive light flare, etc.

Moving story but I had some serious reservations about the reenactments which kept distracting me from the real story.
