Super exciting to attend last night’s premiere of Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower.

Directed by Girth Radio’s own Jaren Hayman (Seal 6 Radio!), narrated by Kim Coates and produced by Jeremy Bieber (if the last name is familiar it’s Justin’s Dad). So yes Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun are featured in the documentary.

Clearly a passion project Jaren’s put a lot into this doc and it shows. Following the screaning Jaren and the rest of the crew answered questions from the audience (hosted by the other half of Seal 6 Radio!) Scotty Willats.

From the media release: “Delve into the secretive world of bodyguards, protectors of world leaders, pop music icons and notorious criminals. This gripping documentary explores the profession in which unhinged stalkers, serious threats of violence and even death are part of the job. Director Jaren Haymen gets unprecedented access to the bodyguards responsible for the protection of Nelson Mandela, Justin Bieber, Whitey Bulger, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and even diplomats working in active war zones.”

Here’s the trailer:

Bodyguards will have some upcoming screenings at the Hot Docs cinema followed by a wide release on all the standard streaming platforms: iTunes etc.
