I have just watched your documentary about the Thai Cave Rescue of the Wild Boars Soccer team and their coach. As an Australian I am extremely disappointed and quite angry about this depiction of what actually happened in the Rescue. You have not only painted a bias American picture, honouring mainly your own Countries involvement, but you went a step further and presented FALSE information to the viewers. The FACTS are: it was an INTERNATIONAL effort to rescue those 12 trapped boys and their coach, and the Lynch pin of the entire operation were 2 Australian Doctors that happened to be professional Cave Divers as well. They were Dr Richard Harris, an Adelaide Anaesthetist and Dr Craig Challen, his Diving partner. You fail to present either of them, other than a photo of Dr Harris. The facts are- BOTH Doctors were requested by the Thai Government to assist in the rescue, as their medical expertise was crucial. Dr Harris played a vital role in adjusting the way the rescue was carried out, as He examined each boy inside the cave and recommended that the weakest boys be taken out first, He also played a crucial role in being the one that administered the sedative to each child in order for them to be rescued unconscious to avoid them panicking. He stayed in that cave until the last child and their coach were rescued, and was one of the last Divers out of the cave. Dr Craig Challen was the one in charge of doing a full medical check of each boy at the half way point. In your account of events, you claimed that it was the Thai Navy Medic that administered the sedative,INCORRECT... and that it was a group of American Divers that did the medical checks on the boys at the half way point again INCORRECT. Lastly, you claimed that it was 3 Americans and the Thai Navy Medic that were last out of the cave....INCORRECT. So, in conclusion your account of the rescue is extremely misleading and to be frank dishonest, and a huge disappointment.
