THE MOVIE

The remote Southeast Alaska island of Metlakatla, the last remaining native reserve and home of the Tsimshian natives, has been defined for over a century by two sacred traditions: fishing and basketball. Witness the improbable journey of cousins Danny Marsden and DJ King, fishermen and stars of the high school basketball team as they lead their team and town towards their first state championship in over 30 years – the only thing that will bring life back to an island that has undergone unimaginable tragedy.
