“I believe that anything is possible,” says Bo Hedges of Dead Horse Creek Ranch, just north of Fort St. John. Dream Big is a documentary that tells Bo’s inspiring journey as a Paralympic wheelchair basketball athlete and the unwavering community that helped shape his success.
From discovering adaptive sports to becoming the Captain of Canada’s Paralympic Basketball team, Bo’s path highlights resilience, leadership, and the power of inclusivity. The film covers key moments of his career, including the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics, the 2023 Wheelchair Basketball World Cup in Dubai, a Bronze medal win at the 2023 Pan Am Games, and the 2024 Paris Paralympics.
Dream Big celebrates the strength of community support through the lens of Bo’s achievements and the local efforts of advocates like Rob Stiles from Adaptive Sports of the North. This documentary showcases that no dream is too big when fueled by heart and supported by a united community.
Christine and her team will bring you Bo’s world of wheelchair basketball, showing the power and generosity of his community, his family and his friends in the north.
