CGiii Comment
Film portrays the unusual daily life of Anna Kurkurina, a charismatic athlete, 'the strongest woman in the world', an animal activist and an out lesbian. At an early age, Anna already proved to have a unique bond with animals. She taught biology at school, worked at the local zoo where she made friends with a lion, helped to set up animal shelters, and tried to find new homes for dozens of stray animals. At the age of forty, she decided to pursue a career as a power-lifter and soon made it to the top by becoming a triple world champion. She also started to work as a coach of young people with disabilities.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Anna has been using the power of her popularity as an athlete and a social media influencer to help injured and abandoned animals, following her motto - Whoever saves one life saves the whole world.
