Beyond Society
Created by Carlos Torres, J. A. Bayona
On Netflix
A reflective documentary miniseries that shifts focus from the survival story to the long, private aftermath of trauma and how survivors rebuild meaning.
The story of Flight 571 did not end on the day the survivors were rescued from the Andes. For them, and for the families of those who did not return, the hardest part was about to begin. Whilst silence reigned amongst those directly involved, the rest of the world continued to try to understand what had happened through books, films and documentaries. But how does one rebuild a life after such a tragedy?
