An investigative documentary about the popular Degrassi teen series franchise set for a world premiere this weekend at the Toronto Film Festival has hit a possible legal roadblock.

Linda Schuyler, co-creator of the Degrassi property, on Monday filed a notice of action in the Ontario Superior Court alleging the documentary, Degrassi: Whatever It Takes , contains “defamatory statements and innuendo.” It’s understood the producers of the film have received the legal action, and for now plan to go ahead with this weekend’s screening at the Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto on Saturday night, followed by a second screening on Sunday afternoon.
