A new generation of fans is about to rediscover one of television's most impactful teen dramas, and it comes with the help of one of music's biggest names. The documentary Degrassi: Whatever It Takes is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 13, offering a layered look at the show that shaped Canadian pop culture-and launched the career of Aubrey "Drake" Graham.
In the trailer, Drake's words are strikingly raw. He recalls a period of high school when he didn't feel like he fit in. "I didn't have a great time in high school. I just didn't really fit in," he admits. That all changed with one phone call. His mother delivered the news that he had landed the role of Jimmy Brooks-a character he would embody from 2001 to 2008.
