Society of the Snow: Who Were We on the Mountain? succeeds in centering Latin American identity by focusing on the Uruguayan survivors and crew. This provides a necessary departure from Hollywood-centric survival clichés. However, the film is naturally constrained by its historical subject matter. The male-dominated nature of the original rugby team and the lack of visible LGBTQ+ narratives limit the scope of its representation. Ultimately, the documentary serves as a culturally specific reconstruction that prioritizes authentic voices over Western-centric storytelling patterns.
