Challenger mobile network iD has launched ‘Blind Fighter’ – the fourth in ‘Do Your Own Thing’: a series of campaigns exploring the lives of extraordinary individuals who have turned to inspirational methods to regain control over their own lives.

Launching on Facebook, ‘Blind Fighter’ is a three-part documentary examining the compelling story of Lee Hoy, a 28-year-old man in South Shields who has used mixed martial arts training to turn around his battle with blindness.

Created by Carl Storey at CHI&Partners, and directed by Ben Hanson and Simon Frost through CHI&Partners’ in-house production company Carbon, ‘Blind Fighter’ subtly navigates Hoy’s story in his own words.
