Netflix shines new light on Thai boys cave rescue

A new series debuting Thursday promises an intimate Thai perspective on the extraordinary effort to save 13 lives from a flooded cave back in 2018.

The world was captivated by the young “Wild Boars” football team trapped inside a cave complex in northern Thailand, as an international diving team scrabbled to extract them.

Netflix’s six-episode drama Thai Cave Rescue is the latest screen interpretation of the event and comes only a month after Amazon released its feature-length film Thirteen Lives.

Amazon’s production, directed by Oscar winner Ron Howard, focuses on the life or death efforts by the divers, played by Hollywood stars Colin Farrell and Viggo Mortensen, to reach and rescue the boys.

The latest retelling seeks to take a closer look at the young players and their families.
