YAWDIE: Road to Paris (Documentary)

YAWDIE: Road to Paris is an independent documentary film following the story of Jamaican freestyle wrestler Aaron Johnson, as he competes on the international circuit throughout 2023 in an attempt to become Jamaica's first-ever Olympic wrestler.

All funds raised are going towards travel costs (plane tickets, lodging, food, etc.) to produce the film. There are 3 main phases of fundraising for this project:

PHASE 1: Pan Am Championships - Buenos Aires, Argentina

PHASE 2: CAC Games - Santiago, Chile

PHASE 3: Senior World Championships - Belgrade, Serbia

This is an entirely self-funded project, to document a once-in-a-lifetime event for the country of Jamaica. The Jamaican Wrestling Federation has limited funding to support media, as their funds that they raise will be used to support their athletes.
