Ultimate Citizens tells the story of Jamshid Khajavi, an extraordinary 65-year-old Iranian American public school counselor who uses the sport of Ultimate Frisbee to help children heal. In an America where many families quietly struggle to get by, Mr. Jamshid coaches an underdog team of kids as they prepare to compete in the world’s largest youth tournament.

Ultimate Citizens is a celebration of resilience and belonging, and it marks the third independent feature documentary from award-winning filmmaker Francine Strickwerda.
