Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I am excited about the upcoming movie "Society of the Snow." The true story of the 1972 Flight 571 plane crash is a gripping tale of survival and resilience, and I can't wait to see it brought to life on screen. The cast looks amazing, and I'm especially interested in seeing Enzo Vogrincic Roldán and Matías Recalt portray Numa Turcatti and Roberto Canessa, two of the survivors of the crash.

I think it's important to remember the real-life events that inspired this movie and to pay tribute to the courage and determination of the survivors. Their story is a reminder of the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances. I hope that "Society of the Snow" will not only entertain audiences but also inspire them to reflect on the power of teamwork, friendship, and the will to survive.
