Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

The families of the 33 trapped miners in Chile have set up home at the San Jose mine.

BBC reporter James Reynolds gives us a tour of the makeshift village, nicknamed Camp Hope.

He shows us where the families are sleeping and where rescuers are working hard to get the men out.

The rescue effort is set to take months, so bands come to entertain the families as they wait patiently to see their loved ones.
