Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story

Unbreakable is not just a tennis story. It’s the story of Australian Serbo-Croatian Jelena Dokic’s survival, of her overcoming extraordinary odds, and of her ultimate triumph in the face of poverty, bullying and brutality.

It’s about how she survived as a refugee, twice. How she survived on the tennis court as she ascended to become world No.4. But most importantly, how she survived the violent abuse by Damir Dokic, her father and coach. Ultimately, it’s the story of how the tennis world and a nation of fans chose to look away when Jelena needed them most. The question is… why?

Unbreakable features first-hand testimony from Jelena, Australian and international tennis greats, including Mark Philippousis, Pam Shriver and Lindsay Davenport, as well as former WTA officials and journalists Chris Clarey of the NY Times and CBS 60 Minutes/Sports Illustrated reporter Jon Wertheim.

“The editor, Peter Crombie, does a fine job giving this documentary a nervy, pressure-packed energy: there’s a voltage to this film that makes it spark and vibrate.” ~Luke Buckmeister, The Guardian
