Anyone underneath Canada finding this on Paramount? It amazes me that we have a "world wide web" that isn't world wide. Same for streaming services.

I’m in Michigan. I looked through everything and couldn’t find it.

Bet they get it in Mejico ; )

I hadn’t actually heard that this was coming, I’ll be keen to check it out. For those in Australia it can be found on Stan.

oh man sorry guy's , as bossy 122 said ,amazing that it's not on American paramount , maybe chase and the boy's don't want it played

Its likely based on licensing as to why its seemingly a US exclusive at the moment. Everyone wants to get paid at each step if they can.

For anyone in the UK with a Sky subscription, 'Lucky' is available on Discovery+.

Yes - I watched it a couple of months ago. Produced by Manish Pandy (who did Senna - and amongst other things - is one of the 5 people who do the "Collecting Addicts" podcast in the UK each week with Chris Harris from Top Gear).

Manish says Bernie wanted to do it as he has a very young son (dont ask) and he wanted to leave this as a document for his life's work. Apparently he doesn't think he will be remembered well.

Since it was filmed, the UK Tax Evasion case has concluded and Bernie is now a convicted fraudster. He claims to have been distracted when $1bn of his money went into a Trust in Singapore....

There was a lot of self-justification in what he says about the business dealings. I still think it was astounding that he and Max should act together for so long without challenge. The 100 year sale of commercial rights - come on... How has that never been challenged in court like the 10-team F1 closed shop?

Still, Bernie is an interesting interviewee but someone with no love about him. Even though he was he was as rich as a medium-sized country, when he wanted to get married in the 1990s, he could only find Max Mosley's cleaner to come and witness the ceremony. That I though spoke to the real, rather two dimensional (not three) life that he led. Whats the point in all that money if you dont have (real) friends.

That said, there is lots of great race film - and whatever else is said about him, those Murray Brabhams were works of art....
