The film
A champion, and the fight nobody trained for
Jesselyn Silva is a three-time national boxing champion with Olympic dreams, and her father Pedro is in her corner every step of the way.
But at fifteen, a cancer diagnosis changes what it means for the family to fight. JessZilla is a coming-of-age story about family, resilience, and what it truly means to be a champion.
In the face of unimaginable odds, Jesselyn chose to keep fighting — and to keep filming — hoping to show others they could be “brave in the face of scary things.”
