MVFF44: 'The Rescue' - Conversation with Jimmy Chin and Thanet Natisri (In-Person)

The 44th Mill Valley Film Festival (October 7-17, 2021) presents an in-person conversation with 'The Rescue' Director Jimmy Chin and special guest groundwater expert who was instrumental with the actual rescue, Thanet Natisri, moderated by Rafael Theater Manager Dan Zastrow.
In June 2018, 12 teenage boys and their soccer coach disappeared while exploring the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Thailand’s Chiang Rai Province. What followed was remarkable: Millions worldwide watched in heart-pounding real time as a global team of cave divers, Navy SEALs, medical professionals, first responders, and other volunteers set aside differences to achieve the common goal of locating the missing and getting them out alive. Making the most of exclusive access to the rescue operation, wife-and-husband directing duo Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin follow up their Oscar®-winner Free Solo (MVFF 2018) with another thrilling documentary, one that shares the same intensity that made that earlier film so memorable. Unspooling with dramatic flair and relentless tension, The Rescue maintains an emotional core, getting to the heart of heroic cooperation and what it means to be human. -Wilfred Okiche (US/UK 2021, 110 min Directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, Jimmy Chin)
