Pablo Vierci is a Uruguayan journalist, author, and screenwriter.

1972 Andes Plane crash

[edit]

Vierci was born in Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay.[1] He attended, and was the school “scribe”[2] for, the Stella Maris College with Nando Parrado,[2] Roberto Canessa[1] and the other rugby players involved in the 1972 plane crash in the Andes mountains.[3][4] He was also part of the rugby team while a student at Stella Maris College.[5][6]

In February 1973, shortly after Parrado returned to Montevideo, he asked Vierci to help him write a book about his experience in the Andes.[2][6] Although Vierci agreed (and worked with Parrado on it for a few months), he was later asked to drop the project after the survivors began to work on what would become the 1974 book, Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors.[2]

In 2005, Vierci was asked to write a book on the Stella Maris College that included a chapter on the Andes.[7] His work on that project eventually led to his 2008 book[1] La sociedad de la nieve (The Society of the Snow),[8] which retells the events of the Andes plane crash through the perspectives of the survivors three decades later. It also offers full oral histories of each of the 16 survivors.[6] Filmmaker J. A. Bayona adapted this book into the 2023 Spanish film Society of the Snow.[9] Beyond the Society (Más allá de la sociedad) is an upcoming 2026 three-part Netflix documentary series created by J. A. Bayona and Carlos Torres featuring interviews with the survivors, relatives of the deceased, and the actors from Society of the Snow. It will also include interviews with the authors Piers Paul Read and Pablo Vierci and the filmmakers Frank Marshall and J. A. Bayona.[10][11]
