The 33 - Clips

Director Patricia Riggen tackles a particularly emotional story with the new film The 33. The film is a based on the recent mining catastrophe which happened in Chile in 2010. When a copper and gold mine finally caved in blocking 33 men in the centre of a huge mountain.

Stuck in the middle of the cavernous mount, the men were left with extremely tight rations and the fear of knowing that the outside world might never be able to reach them. The 33 shows how the men banded around one another and managed to survive whilst mining experts on the surface worked night and day to find a way to dig the men out.
