In a small Arctic town struggling with the highest suicide rate in North America, a group of Inuit students are initially resistant when a naïve & culturally ignorant teacher introduces them to lacrosse. Gradually, they begin to connect with each other as teammates and the students find inspiration to make profound shifts in their lives. In what initially seems like mild after-school fun, the players learn to lead each other and look to compete in the National Lacrosse Championships, and in the process transform their struggling community into a model of hope and youth-led resilience.

Hosea Rupprecht

Director Miranda de Pencier's fact-based sports drama tells a story of hope amid rampant despair.

Sensitive yet never mawkish... earns its heart, spirit and warmth.

Corny, cliched and ham-fisted, yet it still manages to get under your guard with its heartfelt message about reigniting the spirit of despondent youth...Breaks down your natural resistance to platitudes through the sheer force of sincerity.

Director Miranda de Pencier... does a fabulous job in her first feature film of balancing feelings of authenticity and uplift, ensuring there are both heartwrenching and heartwarming moments.
