I really liked this movie a lot . Admittedly I went in thinking it was an inspirational sports movie , but it ended up being something much more powerful.
Residential schools are a black mark in history and this showed in a very real way the tragedies that took place . The ending really hit me in the gut and showed how much childhood trauma impacts all of life . I liked the way hockey was tied in as a metaphor for life as well, and concluding that fame and skill does not fix anything , it's a sense of belonging , heritage and faith .
Highly recommend. Keeps you drawn in, entertained and makes you think about your own prejudice , bias and the power of belonging .
