Self-Defence
Sjálfsvörn
The film follows Imma Helga, an Icelandic self-defence instructor who turned struggles with bigotry, homophobia and depression into resilience. Teaching alongside her brother, she empowers women through practical, real-world self-defence, helping them feel prepared and confident. With over a million TikTok followers (80% of them women), her work extends beyond the classroom, redefining self-defence as an essential life skill. This film is a call to reclaim power, confidence and autonomy.
