This month marks five years since 33 Chilean miners collapsed in the San Jose copper and gold mine in Chile's Atacama Desert, and just one day after the fifth anniversary, the biographical film The 33 is coming to cinemas, revealing all the details of their survival. The drama, watched by the whole world on television, had a happy ending after 69 days of being trapped 700 meters underground, but much of the story has not been heard until now.
Although it did a drama about 33 Chilean miners unfolded before the eyes of the public, but in fact most of the story of survival remained shrouded in mystery. Namely, the miners were trapped deep underground for 69 days, and after being rescued, they did not share with the world how they survived those good two months. A story for a movie The 33 (Los 33) thus offered itself to Hollywood, as it has all the elements that a good drama needs. Film producer Mike Medaway he said it was a story about the triumph of the human spirit, the courage and perseverance of the Chilean people, but what this looks like in practice was shown on the "filmstrip" by the director Patricia Riggen.
