Remember the Chilean miners? A year ago, their return to the surface (after nearly three months underground) was the feel-good story du jour. Now, most of them live in poverty, their film deal is still winding its way through the system, and they’re widely criticized for attempting to make money off their incredible story through public speaking engagements while at the same time trying to sue the government.
