Synopsis

Unbreakable was a story of survival. Fearless is about choosing to live. When Jelena Dokic released Unbreakable, the reaction in Australia and around the world was instantaneous. Horror at what she had endured as a world-class young tennis player, outpourings of sorrow and sympathy, shame from those who were present when Jelena played and her father raged. Six years on, Jelena Dokic has made a name for herself as a commentator and motivational speaker, regularly discussing issues that are important and close to her, such as mental health, body shaming, abuse and living life well. In coming through her younger years, Jelena knows survival – in the face of dreadful adversity. She’s a fighter, her courage is boundless, and in her strength – and vulnerability – she wants to help others to find their inner fearlessness and know there is a way out of dark times. The past years have taught Jelena many tough and important lessons, and now she is ready to share them to help you find your voice, your power and to thrive in hope.
