An incident that, for weeks, was followed by the world. Mr. Stanton talks to Christina about his hobby, his passion for cave diving, the Thai rescue, how the boys got through it, his new book 'Aquanaut' and how he’s worked with the actor Viggo Mortensen (who’s playing Stanton in Ron Howards upcoming motion picture ‘Thirteen Lives’.)
