The Weightlifter His Country Wants You to Forget
Mel follows the life of Mel Daluzyan (formerly Meline Daluzyan), who was once a celebrated sports hero and a symbol of national pride in Armenia. When Daluzyan came out as transgender, the fierce societal and cultural backlash cost the weightlifter his fame, his fortune, his family, and his homeland. The documentary, directed by Inna Sahakyan, explores the immense sacrifices he had to make to pursue his gender transition and live authentically as a man.
