  • What’s ‘Beyond Society’?
  • Who made it happen?
  • Why we’re excited.

Finally, some news we’ve been waiting for! You know that amazing film, Society of the Snow? The one about the 1972 Andes plane crash survivors?

Well, get ready for the rest of the story. We’re buzzing about the new Netflix documentary series, Beyond Society (or Más Allá de la Sociedad, if you like).

This three-part series just had its world premiere. It debuted on September 23rd at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. That’s a pretty big deal!

Guess who’s behind it? None other than J.A. Bayona himself! He teamed up with Carlos Torres for this project. Bayona is known for making movies that really pull you in, like The Impossible and A Monster Calls. You can almost feel the raw emotion in his work. We bet this docuseries will have that same powerful, almost stark visual vibe.

So, what’s it all about? Bayona’s film showed the survival. This new series picks up right after that. It looks at what happened once those survivors returned to Uruguay. Imagine the complexity of coming home after something like that. It’s definitely complicated!

It’s not just about surviving the mountain. It’s about surviving life afterward. How do you re-enter society? How do you process such an extreme experience? We think it’s going to be incredibly moving and eye-opening.

Our Take

This is a must-watch for us. Bayona consistently brings stories to life with such a deep human touch. This series feels like it will offer such a unique perspective. It’s a powerful follow-up to an already unforgettable story. Get your tissues ready!
