Desc: All Pro Family: Directed by Jeremy Torrie. Chronicling the personal and professional journeys of Winnipeg's Reaves family and an in-depth look at the professional sons who are amplifying their voices for the next generation of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour athletes. Willard Reaves, an all-star running back with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and winner of the Grey Cup with the heralded team in 1984. That year, he won Most Outstanding Player in the CFL. He remained with the Blue Bombers for 4 more seasons, then went to the NFL in 1989 playing for Washington and Miami before retiring from the game. Today, Winnipeg might see an unassuming Willard Reaves out and about in the community. Little about him reveals his connection to NHL Vegas Golden Knights' hulking fan favourite and 'enforcer' Ryan Reaves -unless one happens to be an avid football or hockey fan. Ryan Reaves is a rare combination of size and skill in hockey (not unlike former Winnipeg Jet Dustin Byfuglien). His most famous incident after 650 NHL games with the St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Golden Knights was when he kneeled before a Vegas Golden Knights game to protest the George Floyd murder that captured the world's attention in the summer of 2020. Black Lives Matter amplified the messaging and North America paid attention. Younger brother Jordan Reaves, a defensive lineman for the Edmonton Elks, shares his story growing up in the shadow of his father and older brother.
