Most incredible documentary
This is a GREAT documentary. The details provided by the actual persons involved in the rescue combined with the real footage from 2018 makes this a phenomenal watch. It is an awesome recounting of a fantastic story. Both moving and informative, thrillingly entertaining too. It's extremely well done. A lot of content has been made about this rescue (multiple movies, books, series, documentaries etc.), and this one is easily the best of the bunch. And that's coming from someone who has read / watched most of it. I'm not really one for streaming services, so I wish I could buy this one on blu-ray! - green_birb - 5 November 2022
Amazing footage and detail
An incredible tale of impossible situations and high stakes. Absolutely phenomenal detail, thought, documentation and a very high quality production. Organized very well. The footage from the experience was amazing. They did a wonderful job making this documentary. Such a thrilling and spectacular process getting those kids out safely. It's an extremely gripping and emotional experience watching this documentary. 10/10 and you don't see that often. It's a tale of unity and hard work among nations and cultures. They found experts from other countries and they came in and saved the day. Terrific. - TheNamelessCzar - 12 August 2022
Well done overall
The movie was slightly disjointed for me in terms of the way it presented the sequence of events and plot, but overall was well-made. Wasn't as dramatic as it could've been as I already knew the end result, but that's not the fault of the movie itself. - leejenkins04 - 20 April 2022
The human spirit on full display
Firstly. How on earth did this not even get a Oscar nomination? A true story told with depth and heart. In parts I was watching and gasping for air myself. Full of suspense it really puts you down on the ground with the people at the time. But most of all it really shows the heart and love of the human spirit these men showed. Fantastically captured by Jimmy Chin.
