Finding Big Country: An Alumna Film

9/7/2018

This year's Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) will feature the world premier of Finding Big Country: a film by our own Kat Jayme '06. Take a moment to enjoy the official trailer--you can see why the film is creating all sorts of buzz. The permier is on Sunday, September 30 (VIFF website for more information).

The Vancouver Grizzlies’ inglorious six-year history may’ve lacked for highlights but it undeniably had a poster boy: Bryant "Big Country" Reeves, whose less-than-sculpted man-mountain frame made him an easy target for criticism. Documentarian Kathleen Jayme sets out to track down her hard luck hero who was forced into early retirement by injuries. Fueled by nostalgia and punctuated by endearing revelations, this quest ultimately allows us to reevaluate one of the city’s most maligned sports figures.
