Bosnian Roma actor Nazif Mujic, who won a Silver Bear acting award for An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker, at the Berlin Film Festival in 2013, has died aged 48, following a descent into extreme poverty despite his film success. The actor had been suffering from ill health in recent months.
Mujic in January said he had sold his acting trophy online for €4,000 because he could no longer afford to feed his family.
