Synopsis "Miracle In The Andes: The True Story of Surviving 72 Days on the Mountain Against All Odds (in English)"

In October 1972, Nando Parrado and his rugby club teammates were on a flight from Uruguay to Chile when their plane crashed into a mountain. Miraculously, many of the passengers survived but Nando's mother and sister died and he was unconscious for three days.

Stranded more than 11,000 feet up in the wilderness of the Andes, the survivors soon heard that the search for them had been called off - and realise the only food for miles around was the bodies of their dead friends ...

In a last desperate bid for safety, Nando and a teammate set off in search of help. They climbed 17,000-foot-high mountains, facing death at every step, but inspired by his love for his family Nando drove them on until, finally, 72 days after the crash, they found rescue.

Fernando Seler Parrado Dolgay, también conocido como Nando Parrado, nació en Montevideo (Uruguay) el 9 de diciembre de 1949. Es uno de los sobrevivientes del accidente aéreo en la cordillera y al igual que varios de ellos, era un antiguo alumno del colegio Stella Maris y jugaba al rugby en el equipo Rugby Old Christians Club. En el momento del accidente Nando Parrado era un estudiante universitario y tenía 22 años (celebró su 23º cumpleaños en los Andes). Dedicó algunos años al automovilismo y luego se dedicó a ser presentador y productor de televisión y dar charlas motivacionales, las que hasta el día de hoy sigue realizando.
