With Tennis Star Jelena Dokic and directors Ivan O’Mahoney and Jessica Halloran in attendance
Only at Dendy Coorparoo
Sunday November 3 | Doors Open 4:30pm. SECOND SESSION ADDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND!
Be the first in the world to witness the inspiring grand-slam story of Jelena Dokic, who survived war-torn Yugoslavia and the tennis dad from hell to become one of the best tennis players on the planet.
Unbreakable 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 features first hand testimony from Jelena, Australian and international tennis greats, including Pam Shriver and Lindsay Davenport, as well as former WTA officials and journalists Chris Clarey of the NY Times, CBS 60 Minutes reporter Jon Wertheim.
