Jesszilla

Jesselyn “JessZilla” Silva is a 3x national boxing champion with her sights set on being the best in the sport. Her father, Pedro, navigates what it means to support his daughter’s dreams in an extremely dangerous sport. As Jesselyn is on the cusp of making the Olympic team, an unthinkable diagnosis redefines what it means to fight.

JessZilla is a coming-of-age story about what it means to be a champion.

Directed by Emily Sheskin and Produced by Ben Kainz
