PBS celebrates the Thai cave rescue

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2019

For 18 days in 2018 the world watched and held its collective breath. Trapped deep underground in a flooded cave in northern Thailand, 12 boys and their football coach awaited rescue. But could they be brought out alive?

Premiering in the UK on the first anniversary of the boys’ rescue, THAI CAVE RESCUE (July 8th, 7.50pm) charts the remarkable story of their release, from the first moments that they found themselves trapped, to the international team of cave divers assembled to locate and bring them to safety.

Featuring interviews with the key people involved, discover the innovation, teamwork and endurance behind the remarkable rescue, as the team raced against time to reach the boys, exploring every option – from pumping out water, to drilling a new exit, to ultimately cave diving with the children.
