You may remember the extraordinary rescue of the the Thai boys trapped in a flooded cave system. But this amazing film will reveal to you the ingenuity and bravery of the cave divers involved in the rescue. The boys were starving and the oxygen in the cave was getting dangerously low. I found the film very emotional towards the end. One of the greatest rescues of all time. Do watch this film.
This is a first-rate, very well-made documentary, and even though we know the ending, it is tense and gripping. There is a wealth of actual footage as well as a few dive reconstructions that feel seamless in the narrative. The story is told mainly by the 2 British cave divers - men who always felt like outsiders in their normal lives, but who became heroes. If you are feeling jaded and despondent in these troubled times, this film will move and uplift you by reminding you of the good that humans are capable of.
Documentaries don't come more gripping than this chronicle of the rescue of a junior football team and their coach from a cave system in Chang Mai, N Thailand. Rising torrents of rain filled the tunnels cutting the boys off from safety leaving them stranded for over 2 weeks. The efforts that went in to saving them were astonishing. Watch this before you see Ron Howard's Hollywood dramatisation. I've not seen that one (yet) but it will be hard pushed to be better... Crucial watching.
