For almost 30 years Nando Parrado has played a big part in my life and the GDA story. As a matter of fact, my entire relationship with Nando started with me watching the 1993 movie Alive, which depicted the 1972 Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 survival and rescue. Now in 2023 there is a new movie premiering called Society of the Snow.
This week the film was selected as a Golden Globe nominee for Best Picture Non-English Language. Since its debut on September 9 at the Venice Film Festival, it has won numerous awards including the Audience Award at the Miami, Middleberg, and Mill Valley Film Festivals.
Bayona shows a meticulous attention to detail regarding the authenticity of the film. Many scenes were shot on mountain locations in severe cold. It was also filmed in Spanish with each actor the age of the real person they are portraying, with some of the cast actually being from Uruguay.
Over two decades later, I remain inspired and moved by this story of teamwork, leadership, and the power of the human spirit. It has been my honor to represent Nando Parrado as a keynote speaker and put him on stage to share his incredible story for over 300 audiences. I know first hand the power of this story and am thrilled it will soon be available to people globally on one of the largest streaming platforms in the world.
While the original Alive film will always be a personal favorite of mine because it changed the trajectory of my life and career, I am so excited for this new movie to bring the best survival story in history to the attention of an entirely new generation. As always, Nando speaks on a limited basis. It has been amazing to have so many repeat clients bringing Nando back to their organization this year - which goes to show the timeless impact of his message.

Netflix is dropping titles that are sure to shine all July long, so get ready to check out the best movies and shows streaming now. You can count on Netflix to lead the way with incredible and innovative new content like Netflix Original movies Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Find Me Falling, in addition to Netflix Original series Cobra Kai: Season 6, Part 1and Vikings: Valhalla: Season 3, and so much more.
All month long, people have been eagerly waiting to see what new titles would be coming to Netflix. From old classics to brand new films having their premieres, Netflix is full of top-notch movies, documentaries, and comedy specials this July, but there were two that in particular stuck out above the rest. Here are the best new movies on Netflix this month.
When it comes to sci-fi TV shows, there's a lot to look forward to in 2024. As streaming platforms become increasingly invested year on year in the genre, there's copious futuristic concepts being dreamt up and transformed for the small screen.
Whether it's breathing new life back into old, but iconic, much-loved shows or more video game franchises making their way to TV, there's an abundance of new options coming in hot for sci-fi fans everywhere. Space travel, superhero sagas, and action-packed titles fill our list below.
There are some entries that have release dates yet to be announced, but with our ears to the ground, we'll be sure to update them as soon as we hear anything. In the meantime, you can enjoy our upcoming sci-fi movies of 2024 guide for more epic twisted tales. For now, let's turn our attention to TV and take a peek at the exciting shows to come in 2024.
While season 1 was a full eight episode run, Invincible season 2 has left fans in limbo by splitting itself in two. Four episodes dropped in November 2023 and there's another four hurtling towards Amazon Prime right now. Finally, we'll get some resolution to the almighty cliffhanger that Invincible left viewers so recklessly dangling from.
To summarize (no spoilers): the show follows Invincible, a teen with the most powerful superhero on the planet as his father. Invincible embarks on a journey to discover the strength of his own powers, while also uncovering (and unraveling) the legacy of his father.
More X-Men? More X-Men! X-Men '97 is the much-anticipated revival of the iconic 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series. Picking up, as the name suggests, as a continuation from 1997 where the last one left off, there are new challenges for the team as they learn to cope in the midst of Professor X's absence.
Arriving on Disney Plus on March 20, names from the original series are set to reprise their roles, alongside a bunch of new ones. We're talking Chris Potter as Gambit, Cal Dodd as Wolverine, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, and many, many more.
Based on the novel of almost-the-same name (The Three-Body Problem) from Cixin Liu, 3 Body Problem is an upcoming sci-fi adaptation from Netflix. The streaming service is now firmly grounded in the genre and has bravely taken it upon itself to transform a deeply complex sci-fi book into an eight-episode saga.
The original premise of nuclear technology after WWII creating a new society that resides in fallout bunkers is still the same. However, the post-apocalyptic drama will takes a slightly different path to the storyline of the main Fallout games. What we do know is that the Fallout TV show will follow Lucy (Ella Purnell), a vault dweller who decides to venture outside to see what's left of the world, specifically Los Angeles. Aside from that, the plot has been kept firmly under wraps.
Dead Boy Detectives follows detective duo, Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri) and Edwin Paine (George Rexstrew). They're two teens that decide instead of entering the afterlife, they'd rather stay on Earth to become detectives set on investigating supernatural crimes. Unsurprisingly, the title of this TV show gives that away.
It's a story written by Neil Gaiman for DC Comics and it's been a long time coming. After a move over from HBO Max to Netflix, Dead Boy Detectives has finally found a home and a release date of April 18, 2024.
There'll be eight episodes following the boy detectives solving different cases from the Lighthouse Leapers to the Two Dead Dragons to a Very Long Stairway. Color us intrigued. Originally a spin-off from Doom Patrol, it's since been confirmed that Dead Boy Detectives joins the same universe as 2022's The Sandman series, also on Netflix.
Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon has become a shining star in its own right. Set over 200 years before the Game of Thrones that fans know and love, there's a lot to be discovered in this complicated world of warring families and dynasties.
Based on George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood book, this TV series sees the Targaryens stand front and center in Westeros, at the height of their power. However, with such power comes many terrifying opportunities to tear them down from the Iron Throne.
Next up for the Star Wars franchise is The Acolyte. This series is a live-action adventure based in the final days of the High Republic era with the rise of the Dark Side. According to Lucasfilm, that means taking viewers into a 'galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers.'
The Acolyte follows a former Padawan that reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of sinister crimes. It'll be the furthest back fans have ever gone in the Star Wars timeline, with the show set almost a century before Anakin was even born.
Confirmed as part of the cast are Amandla Stenberg as the Padawan and two Jedis, Rebecca Henderson and Joonas Suotamo. Fans will also be happy to know that the series will kick off with a two episode premiere on June 4, 2024.
It's been quite the wait for The Boys season 4, but don't you worry, daddy's home. Fans will once again get to watch these highly questionable superheroes return for more utter chaos in June. Although Amazon Prime didn't leave us completely in the dark between seasons, as the teen spin-off Gen V with its equally dark humor spun its very own web of twisted epic superhero-on-superhero fights.
The Boys season 4 will continue the fight of Butcher and The Boys against Homelander and The (interchangeable) Seven. It's a show full of anti-superhero politics and fighting left, right, and center. With the mess that season 3 left itself in, we expect a lot more of the same to come.
Next up is WandaVision spin-off and new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Agatha: Darkhold Diaries (previously referred to as Agatha: House of Harkness and then Agatha: Coven of Chaos). Reprising her role as Agatha Harkness, Kathryn Hahn takes center stage in her true powerful witch form after masquerading as Wanda's neighbor, Agnes. Patti LuPone has also confirmed she'd be joining the coven as 450-year-old witch, Lilia Calderu (Beau is Afraid), alongside Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation) and Joe Locke (Heartstopper).
The plot for the show currently remains unclear with the MCU keeping it locked down, although star Kathryn Hahn did inform Entertainment Tonight that the plot is "gonna go a million different avenues, kinda like WandaVision." What we also know is that there will be a nine episodes available to stream on Disney+ come September 19, 2024.
Frank Herbert's Dune universe is expanding even further and continues with a spin-off prequel TV show. Previously titled The Sisterhood, Dune: Prophecy takes place 10,000 years before 2021's Dune and 2024's Dune: Part Two.
It'll be centered on the lives of the Bene Gesserit. Already depicted on the big screen, the Bene Gesserit are known as the powerful sisterhood that have superhuman abilities. Sisters Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson) and Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams) establish the fabled sect and that's about all we know so far. That, and it'll be coming to the streaming service HBO Max.
When it comes to Star Wars, the offerings are plentiful. There's a roster of new entries coming to Disney Plus in 2024 and Skeleton Crew is one of them. The coming-of-age story is set to follow four kids looking to find their way home after becoming lost in the galaxy.
