The Grizzlies★★★★

Unexpectedly raw in its form, a dark and touching story about survival. The Grizzlies is an inspiring story that conveys an important message. In a small town in the arctic called Kugluktuk, Nunavut bears a vast number of teenage suicide- the highest in North America. Due to early exposure to alcohol and drugs, kids grow up thinking there is no future. Based on a true story, this film is captivating and can be heavy to take in. However, it is a reality, and when it’s genuinely authentic, it is not pretty most of the time. Now, over two years have passed, The Grizzlies are still roaring for the continuity of a better future filled with freedom from addiction and violence. A film to watch and cherish for when we see triumph over struggle, humanity prevails.
