What they reveal is a story about one of humanity's greatest taboos and one that asks the question, what would you do?

STRANDED: The Andes Plane Crash Survivors premieres Tuesday, May 19 on INDEPENDENT LENS, a weekly series airing on PBS.

They didn't even have winter clothes. It's so miraculous how it all worked out.

they walked for 10 days through the mountains, without warm clothes,glovesn hats, or specific shoes, without food, without a place to sleep, they only had an blanket, but they were sleeping on the snow, they were starving,t hey didn't know wher they were going, they didn't know how much it is gonna take to pass the mountain, they didn't have any kind of an equipment with them, they just decided to survive. and that is unbelievable!!! just a miracle!!!!!!
