Les 13 Rescapés: Notre enfer dans la grotte

Even though we know the outcome, I watched parts of this through my fingers, barely able to watch, imagining the dire situation for the boys and the immense stress on the rescuers and families. It was good to hear the boys stories and how they pulled together, and for so long. They were very strong. Interesting to hear the thoughts of the rescuers who had to anaesthetise the boys before they were taken out of the cave. Well done to everyone and respect to the gentleman who passed away trying to save the boys. Writing this in 2023 it is also so sad to hear that one of the boys took his life recently. I hope the other boys are doing well.

At the time of this writing, I know of 4 productions regarding the rescue in Thailand. The others I know of are "The Rescue" which is a documentary told mostly from the perspective of the cave divers (due to a trust fund one of the parents et up for the team, there were legal reasons why the kids could not be part of most of the other productions made outside of Thailand) and I think that one is very good too. "13 Lives" by Ron Howard follows that one closely. This one is a documentary and it is pretty good and you get the other side of the story from "The Rescue." While they do interview the cave divers, the focus is on the 13 who were trapped and what was going on. Things like, "There was bubbling and we thought we were being rescued...except it was a flash flood and had to run!" Of the productions know about on the subject, I'd recommend this one and "The Rescue" to get the real story from both sides. I have not yet seen 13 Lives, but many say it was excellent and follows "The Rescue" closely. The NetFlix series, "Thai Cave rescue" is my least favorite. While it is a good show, it has glaring omissions and changes events a little too much once you know the real story.
