The first feature film co-directed by Iranian and Israeli filmmakers Guy Nattiv and Zar Amir, TATAMI follows Leila, an Iranian judo athlete who is put in political danger when her government tells her to fake an injury and withdraw from the world championships rather than face an Israeli rival in the final.
Leila finds herself facing a life-or-death decision that could put the lives of her, her coach -- an ex-competitor herself -- and her family in danger. In a fight for freedom and dignity, what is she willing to give up.

Reviews
- "At its heart, Tatami is about the willingness to stand up to coercion no matter the cost, to break cyclical patterns of control in which dreams have been and continue to be savagely broken."
- PopMatters - "A riveting tale of women versus men, athletes versus government agents, and freedom versus oppression...Vibrantly helmed and performed, with co-director and Cannes best actress winner Zar Amir Ebrahimi playing one of the leads, the film is a win both behind and in front of the camera."
