A documentary feature film about the U.S. Para Olympic Dressage Team is nearing completion, but the filmmakers need approximately $100,000 USD in funds to finish it.
ParaGold follows the lives of four Paralympic equestrian hopefuls as they vie for a spot on the 2021 U.S. Paralympic Dressage team for the the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo: Roxy Trunnell, Rebecca Hart, David Botana, and Sydney Collier. Each rider has severe physical disabilities, but determination and the bond with their horses propel them to greatness.

Director/producer Ron Davis has made films about people with physical disabilities before. His first feature doc, Miss You Can Do It, chronicled Abbey Curran, Miss Iowa USA, the first woman with a disability to compete at the pageant, as well as eight young girls with various disabilities as they participated in the Miss You Can Do It Pageant. The film aired on HBO.
