No one in the world will forget the scenes when 12 boys and their soccer coach were found alive in Thailand’s Tham Luang cave system near Chiang Rai in late June 2018.
Chiang Rai based British cave diver Vern Unsworth was the first foreign rescuer at the scene and played a crucial role in the rescue efforts. Movies, mini-series, documentaries and books have been and are still being produced to capture the 18-day drama.
There are also songs-
“Where the Eagles Fly” was co-written and produced by Will Robinson of The Isan Project, to pay tribute to Vern Unsworth.
The music video was shown first in Bangkok recently at a special event attended by the media, tourism authority representatives and the hero himself. One of the key moments at the event was when former tourism minister, Senator Weerasak Kowsurat, who was involved on site in the rescue mission’s decision-making, produced a water stained note hand written by Vern during the first days of the drama.
These days Vern Unsworth is also keeping busy consulting on TV & movie projects such as “Thirteen Lives”, directed by Apollo 13 director, Ron Howard.
