Netflix announced Tuesday it is joining a production company to make a film about last July's dramatic rescue of 12 village boys in northern Thailand.
"We are immensely proud to be able to support the retelling of the incredible story of the Tham Luang cave rescue," Erika North, director of International Originals at Netflix, said in a statement."The story combines so many unique local and universal themes which connected people from all walks of life, from all around the world.
The rescue was a rare bit of feel-good news from Thailand, which has been mired in political conflict and heavy-handed military rule for more than a decade. The cave rescue also allowed the government of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who had seized power in a 2014 military coup, to share in some glory.
An independent film about the adventure,"The Cave," was shot soon after the rescue and is supposed to be released later this year.
