Netflix announces deal for a film about Thailand's cave boys, who were trapped in a flooded cave for over two weeks last July
Members of the Wild Boars, the soccer team that was rescued from a flooded cave, attend a public discussion in Bangkok, Thailand.
They were found by two British divers and brought out by an international crew of experienced cave divers who teamed up with Thai navy SEALs in a dangerously complicated mission that was successfully concluded on July 10. Tuesday's announcement said 13 Thumluang "has committed to donating 15 percent of the revenues derived from bringing this story to global audiences to charity organisations that focus on disaster relief."
"The story combines so many unique local and universal themes which connected people from all walks of life, from all around the world. Thailand is a very important country for Netflix and we are looking forward to bringing this inspiring local but globally resonant story of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds to life, once again, for global audiences."
