TORONTO - Nov. 18, 2019 - THE UPHILL BATTLE is an award-winning documentary directed by Maria Morgunova. "During the production of this documentary I was fortunate to interview amazing coaches, athletes, parents, and referees... I realised at once that we have a huge Olympic potential here in Ontario. In my opinion, the government should wake up and take notice, and support these brilliant athletes and coaches, especially now that karate has been officially added to the Olympic Games," – Maria Morgunova in an interview with the National Association of the Film Critique(USA).
Target Audience: parents, sports scientists, college and university-level students, gym teachers, athletes, healthy lifestyle experts and instructors, coaches, sports-oriented teenagers and karate officials at every level.

Sports experts, sports psychologists, gym teachers, sociologists, and school teachers choose to share this documentary with their students because, not only does it instruct them on how to teach different age groups, it also discusses historical facts, traditions, styles of karate, and much more.
First study and only known research about karate in Canada.
Currently, there is no centralised open-source of information about karate in Canada nor are there any statistics about different types of events related to the sport. To this day, no official data exists on the number of clubs, coaches, and students in Canada. This film demonstrates the urgency for an official study on the state of this sport in Canada. The development of the karate industry is dependent upon this research.
