Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story is not just a tennis story. It’s the story of Jelena Dokic’s survival, of her overcoming extraordinary odds, and of her ultimate triumph in the face of poverty, bullying and extreme 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 unimaginable abuse by Damir Dokic, her violent father and coach. It’s a story of growing up – never being alone, but always lonely. 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: The Jelena Dokic features first hand testimony from Jelena, Australian and International tennis greats, including Pam Shriver and Lindsay Davenport, as well as former Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) officials and journalists Chris Clarey of the NY Times anD CBS 60 Minutes reporter, Jon Wertheim.
Please note: the 6:45PM screening is not part of our Closing Night celebrations, excludes refreshments, with a ticket price of $18.00. Please consider this on arrival, have your ticket scanned by a volunteer and we will direct you to the correct cinema room.
