Society of the Snow emphasizes historical accuracy over contemporary diversity standards. The film's focus on the 1972 Andes flight disaster limits its representation of gender and LGBTQ+ identities. On the other hand, the film excels in cultural authenticity. It highlights the specific ethnic identities of the survivors and respects their national and cultural backgrounds, providing a unique cultural perspective often missing in Hollywood survival dramas. Overall, the film's approach balances historical fidelity with cultural specificity, though it falls short in representing diverse identities.
