Jesszilla is an award winning feature documentary

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.

We have partnered with the World Boxing Council, who have helped establish the Jesselyn “JessZilla” Silva Fund, where all funds raised will go to brain cancer research and support. We are now setting our sights on making the fund permanent - raising enough to help more families and fund more of this lifesaving research through our philanthropic partnership with CURE.

As we head towards our VOD release in 2025, we hope you’ll check out our upcoming screenings and follow our instagram for the latest news.
