Thai rescue response highlights our hypocrisy

How we love a story of heroism, guts, sacrifice, and endurance. Already, before the mud has dried on those twelve Thai kids, a film of their rescue has been announced, writes Suzanne Harrington. 

Their story captured the world’s attention, making us hope with long distance fervour that they would somehow be squeezed intact from Mother Earth, still breathing. How collectively relieved we felt when they were.

It is a human story which contains everything to hook us — danger, uncertainty, fear, hope, bravery, ingenuity, unity, and a happy ending.
