On 5th August 2010, 33 miners were trapped nearly 700m below ground in the Atacama Desert, Chile. After 69 days underground, the miner’s dramatic rescue on the 13th October was watched by their anxious families and a global audience of many millions of well-wishers. This film charts the highs and lows of the rescue operation as step by step the rescuers planned and executed the miner’s release.
Filmed before, during and after the rescue in the San Jose mine, we follow their hellish ordeal, remarkable bravery and eventual rescue, and reveal some damning evidence of negligence that may have led to the catastrophe at the mine.
The documentary includes exclusive interviews with the miners themselves and explores their emotional journey through the 69-day ordeal. We also talk to the miner’s families, and to officials, politicians and rescuers. We reveal compelling evidence that naked greed and flawed safety procedure triumphed over worker well-being at the San Jose mine.

This event brought the entire world together.
It was a beautiful time to be alive.
We for once were not divided..

At last an account that gives recognition to the (six) rescue medics who descended down the borehole into the mine and were last to leave. That took some balls, real heroes!

[@tj205bama]

That part wasn't in movie either

[@chasr1843]

Check out the 3 year old Russian child lost in the wilderness and rescued by her dog leading rescuers to her. The dog protected and stayed with the girl ( I think it was girl)

Oh my goodness I loved this documentary! Thank you for making this! The world has seen who God is and that He still performs miracles. After all He had just performed 33!!! ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼

[@icouldntthinkofanamesoicho7569]

Not to burst your bubble, many men and women made this happen and its important we don't forget how hard they worked. I don't mean this in a rude way but IMO these men and women made this happen.

[@chriscooks5437]

Are they now multi-pesonaires & mine owners themselves? Were they able to retire with full benefits?

[@billkaren848]

This is by far my worst fear

[@drappsingh]

loved it

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

It was a copper mine I believe not gold. I honestly don't remember 100% but pretty sure it was copper.

[@dopeyszn4738]

Copper and Gold were present in the mine.

[@shirleywood2048]

The number 33 should raise suspicion?
