EVERYTHING NEEDS TO LIVE
WSZYSTKO MA ŻYĆ
Everything Needs to Live portrays the unusual daily life of Anna Kurkurina, a charismatic athlete, ‘the strongest woman in the world’, an animal activist and an out lesbian.
Already at an early age, Anna 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 powerlifter 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.’
