We saw this documentary a couple weekends ago and, if you’re in Spain and near a place where it’s being shown, see it. You don’t have to like mountains, you don’t have to know the story. I went to a talk with the director tonight and he said they’ve just gotten word that it’s going to be shown in a bunch more countries, and at some point will make its way to New York. Keep your eyes out!

I agree with the recommendation. Tremendous story.
I’ve never seen so many people trying to get into a theatre to watch a documentary in Madrid…. I went the second day of proyection, wothout knowing anything about it, and around 500 people didn’t get ticket.
Just in case you haven´t seen it yet. If you liked this film, you will also enjoy this beautiful TV report about the rescue.
