Watched this recently via Disney+ on their NatGeo hub. I was familiar with the story of the Thai boys soccer team that got stuck in the cave system after it flooded, and I remember the newscasts about it all. I did not remember all of the details about what a crazy situation that was. Good documentary that kept me on the edge of my seat, even though I remembered the event.

Man... such a tense but good watch. I'd forgotten several big pieces about that story.

I too thought I knew most of the story, but after watching this I definitely didn't. A well done documentary.

I followed the original story pretty closely and am looking forward to checking this out.

Not only does the story intrigue me but this was done by Jimmy Chin who was behind the docs Meru and Free Solo which are both really well done. I imagine this one is just as good.

we enjoyed it. I remembered the story, but didn't know details. At this point, I'll watch anything Jimmy Chin does.

Chin has one of the best Instagram accounts out there. Twitter too, but less activity there.

Great doc about that rescue. Cave diving is high on the list of nope for me.

I can only imagine what those kids were dealing with for 16+ days. Terrifying!

That was an incredible documentary. So much more to the story than what was reported by the news. Warriors sometimes come from the most unassuming people and those cave divers were exactly that!

Now those rescuers are some real heroes. That was amazing. And as much as I remember the story, I don't think the news talked much about how they were rescued - I would've remembered that craziness.

All I'll say to avoid spoilers is that even though it was a success I can easily see how some of those divers would have some serious PTSD.

Fascinating story how it all unfolded and once again Jimmy Chin nailed it.

Halfway through. This is fantastic.

Got a bit choked up at the kids saying hello to the different countries.

Watched last night. Thanks for the heads up. I read a lot of articles when it was occurring and I remember the unique "technique" or approach they took. Don't think they went into the people, specifically the UK hobbyist cavedivers.
