* WhiteMansBurden: While the film has faced accusations regarding this issue, the story is really less about a white man saving the natives and more about the way sports can enrich and heal a community. The producers (including Inuit filmmaker Alethea Arnaquq-Baril) and director were conscious of these issues and had the screenplay centred more on the perspectives of Inuit youth. More can be read about it here [[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/article-mistakes-and-reconciliation-the-grueling-path-to-making-the-grizzlies/]].
