JessZilla

Teenage Jess lives in New Jersey. She’s a three-time national junior boxing champion. She’s incredibly talented and driven. Her greatest dream is to win the gold medal at the Olympics.

The camera follows Jess, who’s getting better at boxing by the day. Apart from her favourite sports, family is also very important to Jess: her darling younger brother and their single father Pedro. Jess has a deep connection with her dad – it was him who motivated her to take up boxing. Pedro supports his daughter in her pursuit of dreams and accompanies her at every training and game. When unexpected problems spring up in the girl’s life, she will have to fight for herself not only inside the boxing ring. Luckily, she has her father’s support. This is a moving story about endurance, bravery, and the power of family.
