​

Dima and Osama Juha met and fell in love in Syria, where they both trained as competitive para-athletes at a gym Osama owned. In 2017, they settled in Hamilton, Ontario as refugees.

​

Through every challenge, Dima and Osama's love for each other and their family keeps their attitude positive, from their commitment to their sports — Dima in table tennis, Osama in weight lifting and basketball — to their passion to bring para-sports to people with disabilities.

​

In Dima’s Game, we follow Dima’s efforts to realize her dream of competing in Para table tennis in the 2020 Paralympic Games, the challenges she encounters and the supportive community that rises up to help her get there.
