Tatami

Leila, an Iranian judo athlete, is thrust into political danger when she is told by her government to fake an injury and withdraw from the World Judo Championships to avoid facing an Israeli rival in the finals in fear of angering the Israeli government. Forced to question what she is willing to give up and fighting for freedom and her dignity, Leila faces a decision that puts her life, as well as the lives of her family and her coach, in grave danger as she aspires to bring home Iran's first gold medal.

Co-directed by Oscar-winner Guy Nattiv and Iranian megastar Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Tatami is "a riveting tale of women versus men, athletes versus government agents, and freedom versus oppression."—Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter.
