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 a district with high numbers of immigrant and refugee students. In an America where many families are quietly, barely getting by, Mr. Jamshid coaches an underdog team of kids on their way to the world’s largest youth tournament.
