Efforts to find the missing boys soon captured regional and global attention.
This half-hour episode of Assignment Asia looks back at the events since the football team found themselves trapped by floodwater in the cave and the global rescue efforts were undertaken.
More than just outlining the heroic efforts of the international rescue team, the episode is also an uplifting, inspirational and at times moving account of how people from various nations came together at a time of need to prevail against all odds.
