Colombian actress Ángela Cano recently starred in Netflix's new short series, 'The Hijacking Of Flight 601,' based on the true story of one of the longest aerial hijackings in Latin American history. The series, set in 1973, portrays the hijacking of SAM Colombia Flight HK-1274 by two Paraguayan assailants demanding the release of political prisoners and a ransom.
The show highlights the bravery of flight attendants, particularly Edilma Perez and Bárbara Gallo/Maria Eugenia, played by Mónica Lopera and Ángela Cano, respectively. The series sheds light on the challenges faced by flight attendants in the 1960s to 1980s, where they were objectified and sexualized.
