Thirteen Lives

Drama | Directed by Ron Howard | Watch on Amazon Prime

Thirteen Lives tells the true story of the rescue of the boys’ soccer team stranded in an underground cave in Northern Thailand. Though a well-known event, the movie is still captivating as it portrays how the rescue unfolded. The experience of the international cave divers and the importance and sacrifice of the Thai community is central to the story. It is also inspiring to witness the bravery and resilience of the young footballers and their assistant coach. This is a riveting movie, with such a satisfying conclusion that it seems almost too good to be true, yet we know it is. (Reviewed by Fay Foster)
