The 33 (2015)
The 33 (2015) is a biographical disaster-survival drama film directed by Patricia Riggen. In August 2010, a group of miners from Copiapó, Chile are working in the San José mine when it collapses due to the owner’s negligence. This unfortunate event leaves them trapped and without a way out. As the miners gather in a rescue chamber, they quickly realize they lack necessary supplies for a long stay – the radio is broken, the medical kit is empty, and there is little food. Amidst this dire situation, Mario Sepúlveda emerges as a leader, taking charge of rationing food and maintaining order among the group. Despite their families gathering outside the mine gates, the mine company makes no move to rescue them.
After the Chilean government’s intervention and order for drilling, multiple attempts were made to reach the trapped miners. Despite some initial misses, a successful borehole eventually reached their rescue chamber. The miners then attached a note to the drill bit as a signal of their survival. In response, the government provided essentials such as food and clothing, and set up television communication with the surface. A second drilling system was put in place to retrieve each miner individually. As weeks went by, there was no shortage of drama and tension as rescuers worked tirelessly towards freeing the trapped miners. Finally, after enduring more than two months underground, all 33 miners were successfully rescued.
