The Grizzlies

With sub-zero temperatures and staggering suicide rates, Kugluktuk, Nunavut, isn’t conducive to dreaming big. After introducing his students to lacrosse in a bid to boost morale, a teacher (Ben Schnetzer) learns that a restoration of pride can only come from within the community. With a cast composed of both established Indigenous performers and remarkable new discoveries (including Nunavut’s own Paul Nutarariaq and Emerald MacDonald), Miranda de Pencier’s film is a stirring tale of collective rebirth.
