ABOUT
This site, in partnership with the filmmakers behind Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story, offers resource support for family violence and abuse in sport.
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. 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?
Jelena Dokic is an Australian former world number 4 tennis player, TEDx presenter and speaker, commentator as well as a 2-time bestselling author.
