Written and Executive Produced by CSI creator Anthony E. Zuiker, Blind Boxer is a story about turning weakness into strength, overcoming seemingly impossible odds, and giving everything you have to climb to the top of the mountain and slay the metaphorical dragon.

This social impact film deals with themes such as addiction, chronic illness, the power of perseverance, and living with a visual disability. The motto for this film is that a true champion isn't the fighter who never gets knocked down, but the fighter who gets knocked down 100 times and has the strength to stand back up 101 times.

Blind Boxer also raises awareness on the practice of corneal transplants, a lesser known medical procedure which gives visually impaired individuals the opportunity to regain their sight.

Our mission is to create a visually gripping film with a rich story that connects with audiences across the globe, opening their eyes to the struggles of those living with a disability and providing them with information on the avenues towards a cure which currently exist.
