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.[1]

The film premiered on October 1, 2022, at the 2022 Vancouver International Film Festival,[2] where it was named the winner of the Audience Award for the Galas & Special Presentations program.[3] The film was subsequently screened at the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival where it won the Audience Award for best documentary.[4]

The film was screened in Toronto at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema on December 10, 2022, with the beginning of a theatrical run in early 2023.[5]
