An absolute gem

One of the best sports movies I've seen in years. Never thought I could be so invested in a film about lacrosse, but then The Grizzlies is a rare film with a big heart.

It felt both tragic and heartwarming. I was completely transported into that little part of Canada and Inuit culture. The characters felt authentic and the scenery hard to look away from.

I thought it did a great job of acknowledging challenges facing Inuit and First Nations people both past and present. It was as much a cultural lesson for me as it was heartwarming film based on true events.

I felt invested in the plight of each character and felt quite connected to each of them by the end of the film. It was this connection that caused me to be pretty damn emotional at times!

Highly recommend.

teacher in the far north meets the inuit

In a cold, frozen land where boredom and alcoholism loom, a group of inuit students learn how to play lacrosse. The new teacher russ doesn't know any of the customs, isn't sure how to meet the locals on their terms, but he is determined to try. And one thing he's knows is lacrosse. So many obstacles. Can he get the town to pull together? Directed by miranda de pencier. This won a bunch of film fest awards. Good stuff. What you see is what you get. Educational in many ways.

Alcohol & Isolation

DVD lacked subtitles for the elderly, disabled, hearing impaired, and ESL viewers. Disrespectful & cheap on the part of the producers especially when audio & enunciation is poor. Also no menu of special features (source of additional info) & chapter headings. Given the large number of production/filming crew they could afford it.

Nunavut (a territory in NE Canada governed by the Inuit) in 2004. Highest suicide rate in North America (although with a total population of 40,000 the small numbers can easily skew that rate). Based on a true story. No highway so access is by boat, plane. Alcohol sales is mostly non-existent, but still obtainable with bootlegging as the prevalent source. Hockey, despite our film's focus on Lacrosse (an indigenous roots sport),is the main sport.

Good acting, good authenticity on student - new teacher interactions.
