Black Californian teenager, Nastasya Generalova, was raised by her single white Russian mother, Olga who enrolled Nastasya in rhythmic gymnastics when she was four years old as a way for her to connect to Olga’s homeland.
This film looks at Nastasya’s personal journey of expression as the only black girl in Team USA, as well as her relationship with her mother in the stressful lead up to Tokyo Olympics qualification. The audience is invited into Nastasya’s world to experience what it feels like to be the only black girl in the building.
Screened in Russian, English with English subtitles.
Dina Burlis, 2024, 74 minutes, USA, Documentary
