Canada's NBA presence has surged, thanks to a shift in immigration policy over 50 years ago. The documentary 'Inbound' highlights how the multiculturalism policy from the early 1970s has led to greater opportunities for athletes like Chris Boucher of the Toronto Raptors. The film showcases stories of players such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and RJ Barrett, exploring their diverse backgrounds and the pathways carved by their families' immigration experiences.

According to executive producer Mark Starkey, these narratives reflect a rich heritage contributing to the thriving basketball culture in Canada, which now ranks second to the U.S. for NBA player production. The documentary aims to celebrate these untold stories, shining a light on the journey toward becoming a professional basketball player in Canada.
