804 - What’s it like to work on a documentary about your favorite TV show?

Honestly… really fucking complicated.

In this episode of The Degrassi Kid Podcast, Jocelyn pulls back the curtain on their time working on the official Degrassi documentary... the highs, the lows, and the messy in-between.

Note: (Please do not try to seek out anyone who is mentioned in this video, that is not the intention of sharing this story!) They share the rush of being invited onto the project, the strange tension of being both a die-hard superfan and an unpaid consultant, and what it felt like to finally watch the finished product on screen.

The experience wasn’t glamorous, and it definitely wasn’t always fun, but it taught Jocelyn hard lessons about self-respect, boundaries, and standing up when things didn’t feel right.

If you’ve ever been curious about what really goes on behind the scenes in the Degrassi Kid world, this episode is for you.
