Supershero: The Journey of Johna Rivers

About this movie

Supershero: The Journey of Johna Rivers offers a powerful glimpse into the life of Johna Rivers, a proud Watts native whose path from adversity to advocacy is both urgent and inspiring. Told through her own words and lens, this short doc unfolds as a personal video diary, capturing Johna's transformation into a fierce community champion. Despite significant socio-economic challenges and her lived experience as a former foster youth, Johna emerges as a force for change-amplifying marginalized voices and modeling resilience. Produced as part of the Supershero Project, the film supports a bold mission: to reframe how girls of color see and value themselves. Supershero is not just Johna's story-it's a rallying call to recognize the strength of one and the potential of many.
