THE FILM & EVENT
The Town of Inuvik in partnership with the Inuvialuit Communications Society is pleased to present a special screening of the feature film: THE GRIZZLIES.
THE GRIZZLIES film tells the extraordinary true story of a group of Inuit students from the remote hamlet of Kugluktuk, Nunavut whose lives are transformed when they are introduced to the sport of lacrosse. Set in one of the most distinctive places on earth, the Canadian arctic, the film highlights the ability of the human spirit to triumph in the face of adversity.
THE GRIZZLIES is more than an inspiring sports drama as it is set in one of the most unique places on earth, featuring fresh, young actors in starring roles. Unlike many sports/coach/inspiring teacher films, THE GRIZZLIES is not just a story about a teacher who affected his student’s lives - it is a true story about a group of Inuit students who changed their teacher and eventually their whole community for the better.
