The Fight of My Life is a multi-season documentary-style true crime podcast that tells powerful, true stories of people caught in moments of profound injustice, and exploitation—and the individuals who chose to step in the fight beside them.
Each season spotlights a different fight for freedom, justice, and survival, capturing the resilience of those who refuse to give up and the quiet courage of those who walk with them.
Told through raw storytelling, in-depth investigation, and firsthand accounts, The Fight of My Life reveals how, in the face of overwhelming odds, ordinary people can uncover extraordinary strength—and how one life’s fight can echo far beyond itself.
