THE RESCUE

2021 / 114 mins / USA, UK / English, Thai

From FREE SOLO directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, this nail-biter film recounts the heroic rescue of 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach trapped deep within an underground cave complex. What I loved most about THE RESCUE is the emphasis it places on the cooperative international grassroots effort that convened to save these boys despite a million and one seemingly impossible challenges, a heartening reminder of our ability for partnership and connection in an increasingly isolated and disengaged world.
