Courage in the Face of a Perilous & Extraordinary Story “The Rescue” Screens at Billings Farm & Museum 3/5

Between early monsoons, dangerous conditions and a nearly impossible mission, the documentary thriller, “The Rescue,” will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Screening at the Billings Farm & Museum Theater on Saturday, March 5 at 3pm and 5:30pm, “The Rescue’” is about the triumph of altruism, ingenuity and perseverance in the face of almost impossible odds.

This penultimate film in the 12th Annual Woodstock Vermont Film Series, “The Rescue” brings alive one of the most perilous and extraordinary rescues in modern times, shining a light on the high-risk world of cave diving, the astounding courage and compassion of the rescuers, and the shared humanity of the international community that united to save the boys.

Produced by National Geographic and Academy Award®-winning directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, “The Rescue” chronicles the enthralling, against-all-odds true story.  With a wealth of never-before-seen material and exclusive interviews the film pieces together the high stakes mission, highlighting the efforts of the Royal Thai Navy SEALs and U.S. Air Force Special Tactics and details the expert cave divers’ audacious venture to dive the boys to safety.

“Extraordinary… A rousing film that celebrates humanity at its most selfless” ~ Variety
