Cave drama mini-series

THE cave rescue of 12 boys in Thailand is to be made into a big budget drama.

Netflix says it has secured the rights to make a miniseries about the epic mission by a British diving team.

“The story combines so many unique local and universal themes,” said Netflix’s Erika North. The Wild Boars soccer team, aged 11 to 16, and their coach, became trapped last June while exploring caves in Chiang Rai province. It took 17 days free them.
