Years after hanging up his skates, Jordin Tootoo continues to influence people. As he travels back to Nunavut to try to speak with his father about what haunts him, he encounters the ghosts of the entire community. As Tootoo says, we are continuously learning and rewriting our story at every step. He has learned from his mistakes and his victories. He has learned from examples of great courage and humility. He has learned from being a father and a husband. And he has learned from his own Inuk traditions, of perseverance and discipline in the face of hardship.
