When 33 Chilean miners emerged from underground before a worldwide audience of over a billion, they made a pact not to speak about what happened underground. Now six of them remember the untold story of the first seventeen days – when no one outside knew if they were alive.

Filming down a Chilean mine with fellow miners, 17 Days Buried Alive explores the nightmare of living in dark tunnels half a mile underground, eating a spoonful of tuna every two days and not knowing if they would ever be found.
