This one is real, raw and goes far beyond the concept of sport and winning which is secondary. The trailer for this movie almost takes away from what the movie actually is.
Watching this movie is a very real and sobering experience highlighting the important issue of what goes on in remote communities. What lies at the heart of everyone and how fragile life can be when you don't have anything meaningful to look towards. It highlighted to me that unless one believes there is something meaningful to look forward to, there is almost no need for motivation to change. It highlighted to me the importance of community, meaning, respect and connection.
What's even better was that the movie actually didn't lean on sport to tell its story, and made it about the people. It showed that often we run away and hide from something if something bad happens, but what about the people that live in it everyday and can't run from it.. How do they grow through it? What part can we play in that?
The best part - was seeing that this wasn't just "inspired by true events" but was an actual true story.
Very underrated film that is very relevant whilst being raw and inspiring at the same time.
