Director Erik Angra has put together a Kickstarter fund for his upcoming documentary, “The Reconstruction of Chyna”. The film will follow the former WWE wrestler as she returns home to the U.S. for the first time in several years, touring across the country and begin her life anew.
Some of the rewards for the crowd-sourcing campaign include various shout-outs from Chyna, digital download of the documentary, a hand-written letter, a phone call, and for the top tier pledge the “9th Wonder of the World” will personally fly out and meet you for lunch, anywhere in the continental U.S. You can get involved at the link above, and have until July 7th to support the Kickstarter.
Per Kickstarter:
At the height of the WWE’s “Attitude” era CHYNA was a top-tier figure in a male dominated sport. Winning the world title, the Intercontinental Title twice, and being the number one contender for the heavyweight crown.
Eventually she was crushed by her fiance Triple H’s infidelities with the boss’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon. He would go on to marry her and become the heir to the WWE Throne.
Chyna would be ostracized from the WWE, cut off from all royalty checks and spiral into pornography and reality shows to survive.
After hitting rock bottom as an alcoholic, she ended up on her feet in Japan. Teaching foreign language for three and a half years while meditating, doing yoga, and getting her life together. Now she comes back to the country that made her a goddess amongst men to redeem herself and reclaim her identity.
Our documentary will follow Chyna across the country as she rediscovers herself with old friends, celebrities and fans before arriving in LA to start her life again.
This film will be an inspiration to women everywhere. Chyna is a living example of a strong feminist who rose to stardom in a male dominated sport despite all odds.
