3 Days 2 Nights

I decided to cancel my Peacock subscription this month, but first I needed to watch all the shows I had yet to see. The last one was 3 Days 2 Nights, a documentary by John Breen about Andy and Mark Godfrey. As young boys, in March of 1974, the plane they were on with their parents, older sister and brother, crashed in the mountains of Colorado. It had me crying buckets and was a beautiful story of survival and surviving and going on to live their utterly changed lives as best they could. It was beautifully done and well worth watching again. 

The film's website gave the following synopsis:

Imagine the defining moment of your life.  Then imagine never talking about it with anyone.  This sets the stage for the documentary film 3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS. 

In 1974, Mark and Andy Godfrey went on a family ski vacation to Aspen, Colorado. Tragically, the plane they were traveling on crashed. The world, as they knew it, was changed forever.  Mark and Andy, who were 11 and 8, survived 3 days and 2 nights in the frigid mountains of Colorado.  For nearly 40 years they rarely discussed the crash, even between themselves. 

This is a film about two brothers coming to grips with the defining moment of their lives.  Their story is one of cathartic discovery in hopes of reconciling such a tragedy.  It’s about how the twin beacons of love and family can help overcome even the greatest of losses.
