This film is the story of Teshya Alo, a 12-year-old female judo phenomenon vying for Olympic gold and her anime-inspired alter ego, Judo Girl. Part superhero saga, part Olympic journey, and part coming-of-age tale, the film introduces America to an elite athlete striving for glory and a mixed-race Hawaiian-Samoan girl just discovering the joys and challenges of life.
