STRANDED: I'VE COME FROM A PLANE THAT CRASHED ON THE MOUNTAINS: One of the Most Astonishing Survival Tales of All Time; Film Forum is pleased to present the U.S. theatrical premiere beginning Wednesday, October 22sd.
STRANDED recreates the extraordinary experience of the 29 who initially survived the crash, followed by two months of cold, hunger and despair. Now, decades later, the men who found their way out of this frozen hell tell their story to documentarian (and childhood friend) Gonzalo Arijon in a film that eschews both sensationalism and sentimentality. These events were the subject of the 1973 worldwide best-seller, Alive, as well as a feature film, but STRANDED is the definitive, haunting version of this profoundly moving drama.
