In June of 2018, The Wild Boars, a teenage Thai football team, went into the labyrinthine caves of Tham Luang on a team-building exercise, as they had apparently done several times before. It was supposed to take an hour or so, as it usually did. This time, though, it rained, flooding the caves, and the rain didn’t stop until all 12 players and their coach were royally stranded. The next 18 days kept the world on tenterhooks, and the astonishing outcome fueled a whole host of documentaries plus a Ron Howard Netflix drama, Thirteen Lives, starring Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton.
