A Judo Family in Brazil

Charles Chibana, a 26-year-old judoka, is a 3rd-generation Japanese-Brazilian seeking Olympic glory. His family has practiced judo for generations, and his father still teaches it to the children in their 40-person household.

This program focuses on the achievements, hopes and dreams of this remarkable family.
