Tatami

opens in theaters June 13th

Set during the World Judo Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia, Iranian champion Leila and her coach Maryam face a political ultimatum: the regime orders Leila to forfeit rather than face an Israeli opponent. With her personal freedom and her family’s safety on the line, Leila must choose between following orders or fighting on—both on the mat and for her dignity.
