Our take

This moving documentary series follows the fascinating journey of a man who becomes a paraplegic and has to rebuild a life that was entirely built around his physical body. Between exploring a certain view of masculinity, where a man’s worth is based on his physical strength, and a journey of self-discovery, Fighter honestly portrays the emotional challenges of its protagonist, whose courage is truly remarkable.
