Based on a true story, “The Grizzlies” is an inspiring recounting of a teacher’s determination to bring hope to kids that have already given up on life. Set in Canada’s Northwest Territory, a recent graduate takes on a temporary teaching job in an impoverished Inuit community with a high teen suicide rate. Alarmed by the hopelessness his kids face each day, he persuades them to form a lacrosse team, leading the Grizzlies to compete in the match of their lives. — Kyle McKinnon
