It’s the story that captivated the world. In June of 2018, 12 members of a boys soccer team and their coach went missing in the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand. They survived 10 days in total darkness before they were even found, and once they were found, their rescue became a harrowing race against time that had little chance of success. It’s a story of bravery, ingenuity, and sacrifice that’s almost impossible to believe.
