Netflix makes Thailand cave rescue drama

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 which connected people from all walks of life, from all around the world,’ said Netflix’s Erika North.

The Wild Boars soccer team, aged between 11 and 16, and their 25-year-old coach, became trapped last June while exploring caves in Chiang Rai province. It took 17 days to get them out.
