From Sunday Morning, 10:45 am on 7 August 2022

As a movie director, the former child star Ron Howard has won the most prestigious Academy Awards double of all - Best Picture, Best Director for the film A Beautiful Mind. The films he has helmed, as they say, have been numerous, and successful.  And he's a successful producer; he made the Eminem film 8 Mile.

His new movie, 13 LIVES, shot on the Gold Coast of Australia, re-tells the well-known and sensational true story of the international effort to rescue the coach and boys of the soccer team in Thailand trapped for 17 days in the Tham Luang cave during an unexpected rainstorm.
