THE RESCUE

THE RESCUE chronicles the riveting, against-all-odds story that transfixed the world in 2018: the daring rescue of twelve boys and their coach from deep inside a flooded cave in Northern Thailand.  Monsoon rains had trapped them in a pitch-black chamber two kilometers deep into the cave.  Academy Award-winning directors and producers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin will keep you on the edge of your seat as they use a wealth of never-before-seen footage and interviews to piece together the high stakes mission, highlighting the efforts of the Royal Thai Navy SEALs and US Special Forces – and the expert cave divers' daring plan to dive the boys to safety.  The filmmakers take us inside the high-risk world of cave diving and reveal the tremendous courage and compassion of the rescuers. As the clock ticked, thousands of individuals from all over the world came together with their common humanity and shared mission of saving the boys in one of the most perilous and extraordinary rescues in modern times.    Winner of the Toronto Film Festival’s 2021 People’s Choice Award for Best Documentary.
