    True Heroes!
    What can I say? This event caught the worlds attention and unified they solved something they thought was impossible.

    This documentary of the Thai cave rescue is hauntingly mesmerizing and agonizingly painful on one's emotions.

    These people all involved in helping rescue the boys, especially the cave divers, are remarkable heroes.

    As a society we put all our stock into idolizing movie stars, musicians and athletes. When there are people out there in the world that put their lives at risk every day to help save other people's lives.

    This documentary is well worth the watch. It grabs at your heart strings and does not let go, and even though I knew the outcome of the rescue, I still sat on the edge of my seat until the final person came out of the cave alive.

    Outstanding documentary!
    I was hesitant to watch this, but I'm glad I did. The actual rescuers and other people were in it, and we learn so much that was never mentioned at the time.

    I am very claustrophobic, so I didn't think I could watch, but there was one brief part where I had to close my eyes. The rescuers, who were from several countries, shared their thoughts, fears, and reactions, which was incredibly interesting and touching.

    Well worth watching!!
