La Loche

The film centers on a tragic school shooting in La Loche, Saskatchewan, where four lives were lost and several others injured. In response, a dedicated teacher seeks to provide an opportunity for healing through nature. She invites Les Stroud to join a canoe trip with eight boys who were directly impacted by the event, aiming to use the wilderness as a backdrop for recovery.

The journey down a traditional indigenous river route serves as both a physical and emotional journey for the boys as they navigate their experiences in the wake of the tragedy. La Loche presents a poignant exploration of community resilience and the therapeutic power of nature.
