To die-hard fans of NBA franchise, the Vancouver Grizzlies, like filmmaker Kat Jayme, the team’s abrupt move to Memphis in 2001 is much more than a sore spot, it’s an unsolved mystery and possibly a criminal conspiracy. What begins as a superfan’s investigation into her hometown team’s disappearance, becomes a love letter to the worst professional sports franchise in history, and an exploration of the deep roots of fandom.
The Grizzlie Truth is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Kathleen Jayme and released in 2022. Following up on Jayme's 2018 film Finding Big Country, the film traces the history of the ill-fated Vancouver Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association, attempting to trace the reasons for the team's relocation to Memphis.
