Academy Award-winning filmmakers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin brought us to the edge of our seats with the breathtaking Free Solo. Now, they return with another enthralling story of triumph against all odds:  the headline-making rescue of twelve boys and their soccer coach from deep inside a flooded cave in Northern Thailand. Follow the efforts of the Royal Thai Navy SEALs and US Special Forces, as well as the expert cave divers, as they venture to dive the boys to safety. Riveting and wholly immersive, The Rescue shines a light on the high-risk world of cave diving, the astounding courage and compassion of the rescuers, and the shared humanity of the international community that united to bring the boys home.
