Educational meeting: Fighters: Being Brave Not Only In Sport
After the screening of JESSZILLA, dir. Emily Sheskin
New Jersey resident Jesselyn Silva is a three-time junior boxing champion. Her goal is an Olympic medal. Jesselyn's father supports her dream in such a dangerous sport. But the girl will soon face a much more formidable opponent than her rivals in the ring. What does it mean to be successful? Do gender, nationality, and skin colour affect one's chances in sports and life? Are the stereotypes of girls in professional sports still in place today? What makes us believe in victory?
