Anna Maxim’s The Reverse Side of the Medal named Best Feature Film at Pomegranate Film Festival in Canada

The Reverse Side of the Medal by filmmaker Anna Maxim was named Best Feature Film at the 2024 Pomegranate Film Festival in Toronto, Canada.

The film is a sports drama about the extraordinary life and career of weightlifter, world champion and two-time European champion Nazik Avdalyan.

Having received a serious injury in a car accident, Nazik Avdalyan dropped out of the big sport for seven years, then came back and, despite the distrust of others and inhuman bodily pains, became a two-time European championship gold winner.

Her story is a powerful proof that the resilience of the human spirit and the unwavering determination make the impossible achievable.
