TREDICI VITE
The original title of the film is in English, Thirteen Lives.
The film is based on a true story, the largest rescue mission in the world, which took place in 2018 in Thailand.
It was directed by Academy Award winner Ron Howard.
Thirteen Lives tells a well-known and exciting story, a drama that finally had a happy ending:
It was the summer of 2018, in a northern province of Thailand, just before the start of the monsoon season, 12 young players together with their coach went down to the entrance of a cave, suddenly disappearing. Due to heavy rain, they were trapped inside, unable to get out and go back.
Little by little the cave filled with water and, fortunately, the boys managed to find a point in the cave where the water had not yet reached. Their only option, at that moment, was to wait for help, and, to avoid the floods, they went further and further in.
Thai officials took two days to find ways to get them out, before relying on the advice of British cave explorer, Vern Unsworth, and sending two divers from the British Cave Rescue Council, John Volanthen and Rick Stanton.
The divers, diving, managed to find the group of boys who were at the very end of the cave at the highest point; the only problem we had was how to get them out, given that some of them didn't know how to swim.
Another problem that arose was being able to keep them calm, navigating the narrow confines of the cave, and not running out of oxygen.
The higher-ups decided that the only way to get them out was to sedate them. So they decided to call Australian anesthetist Richard Harris and asked him to join the mission. Since it was illegal, Governor Narongsak reassured Harris that he would take responsibility.
The plan worked and they managed to get everyone out, 18 days after entering the cave.
