Novak Djokovic and his wife Jelena turned heads on the red carpet at the premiere of the documentary film "The Wisdom of Trauma," organized by the Novak Djokovic foundation.
"The Wisdom of Trauma" features the insights from Dr. Gabor Maté, a renowned Canadian physician with a special interest in childhood development and trauma. The documentary explores the concept of "a trauma-informed society," in which authority figures "seek to understand the sources from which troubling behaviors and diseases spring in the wounded human soul," as described on the film's website.
On Monday, September 18, Novak Djokovic and his wife Jelena attended the Belgrade premiere of the film. Following Jelena's interaction with the media, the 24-time Grand Slam champion joined her and paid her a compliment.

"I have been watching this film for six months every other week with a different focus group and the impressions are very emotional every time and every time I discover something new and get to know a new dimension of myself. I think it is very emotional and useful for everyone to watch it and I am glad that our foundation made it possible for this film to be seen and talked about throughout the region," she said, as reported by Blic.
