Project Summary
Disqualified is a television drama series in development from Banijay Finland, based on journalist Johanna Aatsalo's reporting on one of Finland's most notorious sporting scandals. Foundation actress Laura Birn is attached to lead the project, which follows a fictionalized version of Aatsalo's investigation into systematic doping within Finland's world-famous national ski team. The series explores the profound personal and professional consequences faced by the journalist as her life, reputation, and career unravel under mounting pressure, while she refuses to abandon her story or compromise her source. Executive producer Minna Virkajärvi describes it as a character-driven drama combining investigative thriller tension with themes of press freedom, abuse of power, and corruption. The project was presented at MIA Market in Rome in October 2026.
