About The Grizzlie Truth
Superfan filmmaker Kat Jayme investigates the abrupt move of her NBA hometown team, the Vancouver Grizzlies, to Memphis in 2001. Much more than a sore spot, it's an unsolved mystery and possibly a criminal conspiracy. The investigation becomes a love letter to the worst professional sports franchise in history and an exploration into the deep roots of fandom.
