Synopsis by Clare Perez-Izaguirre Lopez
Including previously unseen footage and interviews, this documentary reveals the real-life events that occurred during the Thai cave rescue in 2018. A soccer coach and 12 young players from the Wild Boars team spent 18 days in the Tham Luang caves in Northern Thailand after monsoon floodwaters forced them to retreat there. Following the planning of the rescue attempt, the death of one of the divers and the eventual success of the Thai navy SEALs and additional cave divers, a new perspective is brought on the heroics of the rescue team. Directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Varsarhelyi.
