ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY

After achieving a phenomenal feat in becoming part of the national team, she made the difficult decision to leave the renowned High Performance Center to be close to her mother. In these challenging moments, full of fears and doubts, she chose to forge a new path, which led her to Australia. Upon her return home her love for karate was reawakened, as was her goal of becoming a Spanish champion. With unwavering determination, she began working with the best coach, Jesús del Moral, who later became her husband. Victories followed one after another, fuelling her determination. Until she won the coveted prize and became a living legend of world karate.

Throughout the documentary, viewers will visit key moments in Sandra’s life. From her hometown, Talavera de la Reina, to Dubai, where she reached the top in her last world championship. With an obligatory visit to Japan, the home of karate. The documentary crucially explores her Olympic victory in Tokyo 2020.
