The 33, starring Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche, recounts the extraordinary true story of the 2010 Chilean mining disaster that buried 33 miners 2300 feet underground for 69 days before their unprecedented rescue. The world was riveted by the story, but the name of the man whose plan — and drilling equipment — made the rescue possible, wasn’t even mentioned in the film; his character is conflated with one of his employees, a driller named Jeff Hart played in the film by James Brolin. And as you are about to hear, that’s alright with business owner and Catholic Deacon, Greg Hall.
