A documentary on the life of Australian tennis champion Jelena Dokic will be released on November 7.
The film will be called Unbreakable, also the title of her first book, and will document Dokic’s life from a young kid under the control of her abusive father, all the way through her tennis career and eventual attainment of peace and happiness.
“The trailer for Jelena Dokic’s Unbreakable documentary is so chilling,” Christian’s Court said.
“It is set to release Nov. 7 in Australia and internationally sometime in 2025 on streaming.”
The producers of the show said: “This is the story of Jelena Dokic’s extraordinary survival.”
Dokic is very open and vocal about her mental health struggles and the abuse she received from her autocratic father growing up.
She has also been lauded for her work in the body image space, advocating for all people to feel comfortable in their own skin.
Dokic, a former world No.4 and Wimbledon semi-finalist, has never been afraid to call out her critics.
She has faced a constant battle with body shaming, especially online, but has made it her mission to support body image acceptance in others.
Trolls have even criticised her for losing weight.
Dokic lost 20kg in 10 months at one point, but stressed that it was about “health and not size”.
In a lengthy Instagram post, she said the “most important thing is that I am happy and proud in both pics regardless of my weight and that I am kind always”.
She went on to share her secrets, but added that weight loss was not a priority, it was just a byproduct of looking after her health.
“I stopped eating late at night especially things like burgers, pizza, fries and desserts because they made me feel so sluggish when I would wake up, especially for early morning work and flights. So I don’t eat heavy meals at night anymore and I don’t eat after 7pm,” she wrote.
