Society Of The Snow Tops Netflix Globally

Based on a true story, the Spanish-language film has been viewed nearly 23 million times since its release.

The Spanish-language survival thriller, Society Of The Snow, has been named as Netflix’s most-watched film globally this week, with just less than 23 million views.
The movie is based on a true story about a flight, carrying a rugby team, which crashes on a glacier in the Andes.
Society Of The Snow has been long-listed by BAFTA for an award in the Film Not In The English Language category, and shortlisted for four Academy Awards, including Best International Feature and Original Score.
The movie is adapted from the book of the same name, written by Pablo Vierci, which is based on the 1972 Andes flight disaster, in which there were 29 fatalities.
Director J.A. Bayona visited the site of the crash ahead of filming, and ensured that the families of the survivors approved of the adaptation.
