Society of the Snow (Spanish: La sociedad de la nieve) is a 2023 survival drama film directed by J. A. Bayona and based on Pablo Vierci's 2009 book of the same name,[5][6] which details the true story of a Uruguayan rugby team's experience in 1972 after Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed in the Andes Mountains. A co-production between Spain and the United States, the film had a cast composed of Uruguayan and Argentine actors, most of whom were newcomers,[7] and was shot mainly in Sierra Nevada, Spain.
The film closed the 80th Venice International Film Festival in an Out of Competition slot.[8] It was theatrically released in Uruguay on 13 December 2023,[9] in Spain on 15 December 2023,[10] and in the US on 22 December 2023,[11] before streaming on Netflix on 4 January 2024.[12]
Society of the Snow received positive reviews. It won 12 awards including Best Picture and Best Director at the 38th Goya Awards, 6 awards at the 11th Platino Awards, and was nominated for 2 Academy Awards.
