Pocket Hercules: Naim Süleymanoglu

I've stumbled upon this movie almost by accident, but it turned out to be a really good one.

The life and atmosphere of Bulgaria in the late 70s and 80s is VERY well represented - it was exactly like that.

And I do remember watching him on TV as a kid, cheering, as he was winning all these medals while he was still competing for BG.

As a Bulgarian I can say the movie is very balanced and authentic, and it's like a small a bridge between the two neighboring nations.

Naim was really a great man, and he had a great cause, and he helped not only his folks, but also the whole country of Bulgaria to get rid of the communist rule - as it crumbled soon after these events (in late 1989).

Must watch movie.
