The Animated Adventures of Judo Girl

The story of Teshya, 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 an elite athlete striving for glory and a mixed-race Hawaiian-Samoan girl just discovering the joys and challenges of life.
