#SPOTTED: SHAMIER ANDERSON, KING BACH, BEN JOHNSON & MORE AT WORLD PREMIERE OF “HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY”

The Red Carpet was rolled-out at Scarborough Town Centre last night as the World Premiere of new Paramount+ series HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY took place! The humorous Mockumentary series is told over six episodes, giving the world a chance finally to hear Ben Johnson‘s side of the story.

Once regarded as “the World’s fastest man”, his world came crumbling shortly after winning gold in the 100m Men’s Spring at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, when he tested positive for steroids. Stripped of his medal, this investigation led to a broader conversation about the doping of several Canadian athletes, though Johnson never got vindication.

The Series from Creator Anthony Q. Farrell, stars Scarborough’s own Shamier Anderson in the title role, alongside social media sensation King Bach as Johnson‘s arch-rival Carl Lewis. The Cast is a who’s-who of Canadian talent including Andrew Phung, Emma Hunter, Mark McKinney, Kristian Bruun, and several more.

We had the pleasure of attending the Premiere and chatting with the Cast and Creator:

The screening, moderated with a Q&A by Scarborough Spots founder Jesse Asido, was then followed by a reception in the space the formerly belonged to Hudson’s Bay. The rum was pouring, the music was blaring, and the roti and curry coat was unlimited! And most of all, man of the hour Ben Johnson was seen kicking-back and having fun, as he should.

HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY airs March 26, 2026 on Game TV and streams March 27, 2026 on Paramount+.

#FIRSTLOOK: “LET OUR MOUNTAINS LIVE”

The powerful new documentary LET OUR MOUNTAINS LIVE will make its North American Premiere at the 2026 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, runningApril 23^rd to May 3^rd, the film will screen twice during the festival at TIFF Lightbox on April 24^th and 25^th.

Director/producer Håvard Bustnes and Sámi filmmaker, writer, and producer Johannes Vang will be in attendance for the screenings.

A gripping and urgent documentary, LET OUR MOUNTAINS LIVE follows South Sámi reindeer herders Sissel Stormo Holtan and Terje Haugen as they wage a decades-long fight to protect their ancestral grazing lands from Europe’s largest onshore wind power development in the mountains of Fosen, Norway.

After years of legal battles, the herders achieve a historic victory when Norway’s Supreme Court rules that the wind farm violates Sámi human rights. Yet despite the landmark ruling, the turbines remain standing. What follows is an extraordinary struggle that exposes a deeper crisis: when courts recognize injustice but governments fail to act.

The case ignites protests led by Sámi youth, drawing international attention to the tensions between climate policy, corporate power, and Indigenous rights. At its heart, LET OUR MOUNTAINS LIVE asks a question resonating far beyond Norway: can the global transition to renewable energy truly be just if it comes at the cost of Indigenous culture, land, and livelihood?

The film was developed in close collaboration with Sámi creators, including co-writer and producer Johannes Vang and Finnish Sámi filmmaker Kati Eriksen, ensuring the story reflects authentic Sámi perspectives and cultural context.

Director Håvard Bustnes, one of Norway’s most acclaimed documentary filmmakers, has spent more than two decades crafting internationally recognized nonfiction films including Golden Dawn Girls, Two Raging Grannies, and Name of the Game. His work has screened at major festivals worldwide and has received numerous honors, including Norway’s Amanda Award and Gullruten Award.

With its Hot Docs premiere, LET OUR MOUNTAINS LIVE brings a critical Indigenous rights story to North American audiences at a moment when conversations about climate justice and Indigenous sovereignty are increasingly urgent worldwide.
