Inbound

An astonishingly edited and directed look into how Canadian basketball has been shaped by changes in immigration policy. Featuring some truly powerful interviews with NBA player families and Canadian NBA players themselves, Inbound weaves highlights galore with immigrant stories from across the nation. From the west coast to the east coast, Canada has began to produce some absolute talent in the NBA, with one (SGA) pretty close to getting MVP honours this season. But how has Canadian talent improved so much over the years? Inbound answers this question with an amazingly crafted narrative through the lense of immigrant stories.

At a time when national pride is booming, Inbound arrives. Celebrating the successes of Canadian basketball stars and those around them, Inbound spotlights that our strength is our diversity.

Beautifully shot with a deeply resonating soundscape, the filmmakers have succeeded in creating a rejoinder to the vitriol of the day by showing us a stirring reminder of what makes us great.

If you love basketball, you should watch this movie. If you love Canadian basketball, this is a must-see. And if you're someone trying to rise up against the odds and in the face of adversity, watch this film and leave saying "I can".

An incredible piece of storytelling when Canadian basketball and patriotism is on the rise. Beautifully shot and extremely informative! A unexpected approach on the history of basketball in Canada, starting at the point in time that was most impactful on its current climate. Inbound is exciting and at times funny. It dances between heavy and light moments. The film both teaches and tugs at the heart strings. There were moments in the theatre where people were cheering, laughing and weeping. Just the right blend of sports and emotions that will engage both basketball fans, and those who don't follow the sport. Truly a must see!

As a fan of the NBA, and proud Canadian, I was so excited for this. Incredible piece around the growth of basketball and shifting demographics around the sport since the league's inception in Canada. It was engaging, informative, and beautifully crafted. I loved how the storytelling was compelling, balancing personal stories, on-court and historical context. Visually, the cinematography was excellent. The editing was sharp, and loved the strong female representation in the credits.

A must-watch for all Canadians, young and old, and lovers of the sport of basketball! I hope this will be available soon everywhere movies are sold.

This was a very well thought out project and it definitely delivers! Fans of basketball and Canada should feel very good about their place on the world's stage!

The family interviews are heartwarming and also give you goosebumps! The on court footage was pieced together masterfully and the historical relevance was an important part for me.

I learned quite a bit about the immigration process to Canada and was quite surprised to learn that some of the NBA's best players are represented by the North 🇨🇦!

Lots of knowledge to be gained in a fairly short film! I highly recommend watching this! Well done!
