THAILAND CAVE RESCUE
THAILAND CAVE RESCUE
SC 214
Format B
In June 2018, a sudden monsoon swept into northern Thailand, flooding the underground passages of the Tham Luang Cave and trapping 12 children and their soccer coach deep underground. The world watched transfixed for weeks as rescuers located the boys, brought them supplies and engineered a way to bring them to safety. National Geographic documentary The Rescue tells the riveting story of how the Royal Thai Navy SEALs, a U.S. Air Force Special Tactics team, and an international crew of expert cave divers collaborated on this perilous and extraordinary rescue. We will watch this feature-length film together, followed by a brief Q&A.
