Karateka

Sandra Sánchez wasn't destined to become a champion by conventional standards. Far from the usual paths of elite sport, she had to face personal obstacles, sacrifices, and the feeling of arriving late to a discipline where most great successes are achieved at much younger ages. However, she never stopped believing in herself. From her first steps as a young girl to becoming the greatest karateka of all time (number one in the world rankings, two-time world champion, and Olympic champion in Tokyo 2020, where she won the first and only Olympic gold medal in the history of women's karate), not to mention her great work as an inspiration to young athletes around the world, Karateka traces Sandra's life and becomes a story of overcoming adversity and perseverance, of love for the sport, a story as moving as it is tough that transcends karate and turns its protagonist, Sandra Sánchez, into a legend. A moving and challenging story that will resonate with a wide audience.
