DVD lacked subtitles for the elderly, disabled, hearing impaired, and ESL viewers. Disrespectful & cheap on the part of the producers especially when audio & enunciation is poor. Also no menu of special features (source of additional info) & chapter headings. Given the large number of production/filming crew they could afford it.
Nunavut (a territory in NE Canada governed by the Inuit) in 2004. Highest suicide rate in North America (although with a total population of 40,000 the small numbers can easily skew that rate). Based on a true story. No highway so access is by boat, plane. Alcohol sales is mostly non-existent, but still obtainable with bootlegging as the prevalent source. Hockey, despite our film's focus on Lacrosse (an indigenous roots sport), is the main sport.
Good acting, good authenticity on student - new teacher interactions.
