This is a true story of disaster, despair, determination and the triumph of life over death:

In 1972, a plane carrying a rugby team from Uruguay crashed high in the Andes leaving many passengers alive. Nando Parrado, with Roberto Canessa, trekked from the glacier at 12,000 feet to find safety and rescue for the remaining survivors still on the glacier. Seventy-two days after the crash, 14 more survivors were airlifted to safety.

Parrado's story is one of friendship and perseverance overcoming tragedy: "I would live from moment to moment and from breath to breath, until I had used up all the life I had... each step I took was a step stolen back from death."

The music is rich and full of harmony, dissonance and rhythmic drive capturing Nando's and Roberto's determination to survive the unforgiving harshness of their surroundings.

Thank you for joining us. Lloyd and Stan
