Considered the anthem of the reggae genre, ‘Bam Bam’ is one of reggae’s most sampled vocals in history. But the woman behind the voice of reggae’s most well-known song, Sister Nancy, remains a relative unknown to those outside of the genre. Deceived for decades and denied the royalties that were rightfully hers, Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story follows the musician as she travels to Jamaica, London, Toronto, New York and Atlanta, between sold-out shows, to reclaim the rights to what is rightfully hers. With support from Janelle Monae, Young Guru, Pete Rock and more, Sister Nancy confronts the music industry in a fight for equality of women and women of colour and their artistry. Following a whirlwind international festival campaign and a World Premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story hits select theatres across Canada on January 31, 2025, and begins streaming on Crave on February 17, 2025.
“Joining Sister Nancy in a fight to be recognized has been a career highlight,” says award-winning director and founder of OYA Media Group, Alison Duke. “The support we’ve received from audiences and music-lovers has inspired us to continue to bring Sister Nancy’s story to film-goers in Canada and abroad. Sister Nancy paved the way for women in reggae and music–and should be recognized for that.”

“It means the world to me to share my story,” says reggae icon and star of the documentary, Sister Nancy. “Not every artist gets the opportunity to do that, and I’m so glad it happened. I‘m deeply thankful to OYA Media Group for choosing me to make a documentary. My story really needed to be told and watched!”
For far too long have women of colour been overlooked and taken advantage of in the music industry. Award-winning filmmaker Alison Duke (Black Community Mixtapes, A Mother Apart, Paid in Full) takes on the monumental task of bringing Sister Nancy’s story to light. Through archival footage, insightful interviews and diving deeply into the early dancehall scene, Duke tracks the making of a genre-defining hit and the fight for the empowerment of its maker. Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story captures the creation of music that transcends boundaries and genres, reaching audiences worldwide and capturing popular culture repeatedly since its release in the 1980s. The Sister Nancy Story is both empowering and entertaining, proving that great music and talent can overcome any obstacle – in music and life. Director Alison Duke captured all of Sister Nancy’s scenes in #onetake, much like Sister Nancy’s recording of ‘Bam Bam’.
Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story was produced by award-winning filmmakers Alison Duke and Ngardy Conteh George of OYA Media Group.
Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story comes to select theatres across Canada on January 31, 2025.
The film will be available for streaming on Crave beginning February 17, 2025.
The film will have a special screening at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto on January 30, 2025 at 6:30 PM.

Launching on Disney+ Feb. 19, 2025, Pixar Animation Studios’ first-ever original series “Win or Lose” features the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire.
“I played softball growing up,” said Carrie Hobson, who wrote, directed and executive produced the series with Michael Yates. “Inspired by that experience, we felt fast-pitch softball was the perfect backdrop for the show. There are so many facets to playing sports that I love—it can bring out the best and worst of a person, the calmest person can lose their temper. And when it comes to winning and losing—the consequences are nothing, and yet, they’re everything. We really felt like it was the best arena for the themes we loved.”
According to Yates, the idea of spotlighting different perspectives was born of everyday life at Pixar. “Carrie and I were officemates on ‘Toy Story 4,’” he said. “We were both story artists on the film, and we would talk about a lot of things going on in the film, as well as things going on in the world—current events, news. We would always have different reactions or different interpretations of the same meeting. One of us would say, ‘That went great!’ and the other would say, ‘No! It was terrible, what are you talking about?’ We realized that our own experiences that we bring to the table change our perception of an event. We wanted to tell a story that illustrated all of that.”
“Win or Lose” features the voices of Will Forte, Rosie Foss, Josh Thomson, Milan Elizabeth Ray, Rosa Salazar, Dorien Watson, Izaac Wang, Chanel Stewart, Lil Rel Howery, Melissa Villaseñor, Jo Firestone, Flula Borg, Kyleigh Curran, Jaylin Fletcher, Erin Keif, Tom Law, Beck Nolan, Orion Tran and Rhea Seehorn. The series, which presents incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives, is produced by David Lally, includes music by composer Ramin Djawadi and original songs by CAMPFIRE and Djawadi

Redberry Restaurants (“Redberry”) will open the first downtown Toronto Jersey Mike’s Subs in the Union Market area of Union Station on Wed., Jan. 22, 2025, giving Toronto’s business district, commuters and visitors the chance to enjoy the authentic fresh sliced/fresh grilled sub sandwiches offered by the iconic brand.
The downtown opening is part of Redberry’s long-term plan to open 300 Jersey Mike’s locations in the next 10 years. It is the fifth Jersey Mike’s Redberry has opened since August 2024. Other locations have opened in Markham, North York, Brantford and Guelph. A Pickering location is also coming early in the new year. These six locations will employ nearly 180 crew members in the Greater Toronto Area. Redberry also owns two existing and recently remodeled Jersey Mike’s locations in Kitchener and London.
To celebrate the new Union Station location, Redberry will hold a grand opening and fundraiser from Wednesday, Jan. 22 to Sunday, Jan. 26 to support Make-A-Wish Canada. Customers who receive a special fundraising coupon distributed through a grassroots effort prior to the opening can make a minimum $3 contribution to Make-A-Wish in exchange for a regular sub. Customers must have a coupon to be eligible.
Customers without a coupon will have a limited-time opportunity to download the Jersey Mike’s app and earn a free regular sub after their first in-app sub purchase and will also be able to support Make-A-Wish Canada via a donation box near the register. The first 500 guests at the grand opening will receive a Jersey Mike’s branded hockey puck.
“We have arrived at the heart of Canadian commerce in Toronto’s downtown business district and we are just getting started,” said Ken Otto, CEO, Redberry. “We can’t wait to offer effortless access to our ‘sub above’ experience from the venerable halls of Union Station to countless Toronto commuters, shoppers and tourists and we are eager to continue supporting Make-A-Wish Canada during the first five days of our grand opening celebration.”
Making a Difference
Jersey Mike’s believes that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same. Last year, in Canada, between the company’s annual Month of Giving in March and the Markham and North York opening fundraisers, Jersey Mike’s raised nearly $19,000 to help Make-A-Wish Canada. In addition, $2,396was raisedfor Child Hunger Brantford and $2,645 for the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington.
Fresh Sliced/Fresh Grilled
Jersey Mike’s premium meats and cheeses are sliced on the spot and piled high on the in-store baked bread. Jersey Mike’s fans crave their subs made Mike’s Way® with the freshest vegetables – onions, lettuce and tomatoes – along with an exquisite zing of “the juice,” red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend, topped off with our signature spices. Authentic cheesesteaks are also grilled fresh to order.
The restaurant’s hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. You can place orders in-store, on the Jersey Mike’s app, online at www.jerseymikes.ca, and on the national delivery apps. Catering orders are also welcome.
