GCI is partnering with Alaska Airlines and the Alaskan Nets documentary to present the Alaskan Nets High School Movie Night, a free movie night for students, their schools, and communities around the country and Canada. The documentary covers the story of a small Alaskan village, and their 2018 boys basketball team. It’s a story about life, community, and overcoming the challenges that residents of rural Alaska face. The feature film premiered at the 36th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival and won the Audience Choice Award.
GCI and Alaska Airlines are sponsoring a nationwide high school film tour, allowing any high school in the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada to host a free screening of the documentary at no cost between January and March of 2022. Schools can sell tickets, merchandise, concessions, and all of the proceeds will go to the school’s athletic department. The tour is intended to fundraise and give back to high school sports programs across the country and Canada.
