A Bosnian Roma actor who won a Silver Bear acting award at the Berlin film festival in 2013 says he has sold his trophy because he could no longer feed his family.

Nazif Mujic [url=http://www.cheapjerseysjazz.com/joe-johnson-jersey/]Cheap Joe Johnson Jersey[/url] , 47, was the toast of Bosnia when he won the award for playing himself in the movie An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker.

The film, which tells the true story of Mujic's fight for medical treatment for his wife after she suffered a miscarriage, also won the Jury Grand Prix at the Berlin festival.

But the success did not translate into wealth for Mujic, who returned to his old job gathering scrap metal for a few euros a day, and now he has been forced to part with his Silver Bear.

"First I sold an old car [url=http://www.cheapjerseysjazz.com/rodney-hood-jersey/]Cheap Rodney Hood Jersey[/url] , then some personal items, and then it was the bear's turn," Mujic told AFP by telephone from his isolated and poverty-stricken hamlet of Svatovac in northern Bosnia.

He said the decision to sell the trophy was "very difficult" but "my children had eaten almost nothing for three days."

At the end of December he offered the trophy in an internet post, asking 5,000 euros ($5,260) for it. He accepted 4 [url=http://www.cheapjerseysjazz.com/pete-maravich-jersey/]Cheap Pete Maravich Jersey[/url] ,000 euros from the landlord of a local bar, Senadin Cosic.

Cosic said he would offer the bear to a museum.

"I am not a collector and I bought the statuette mainly to help Nazif. He is a sick man who cannot work and must feed his three children," he said.

Despite returning to a hero's welcome after the festival, Mujic quickly fell back into anonymity and poverty and had an application for asylum in German rejected in 2014.

He has been on insulin for diabetes for three years and says his family still gets by on his scrap collection, for which he earns six or seven marks (around $3.50) a day.
