Nadia

Nadia

At just 14 years old, Nadia Comăneci revolutionized gymnastics, becoming the first athlete to achieve a perfect 10 at the Olympics. In 1976, the word perfect got a new meaning from a communist girl who rarely smiled.

Nadia Comăneci’s rise to fame is legendary: a small-town kid from Communist Romania who captivated the world with her grace, precision, and seemingly impossible gymnastics feats.

But beyond the gold medals and global adoration was a young woman trapped by a rigid political system, manipulated by the Romanian regime, and subjected to a grueling training environment.

NADIA is an intimate and powerful journey through her groundbreaking performances, the unseen struggles behind the glamour, and her dramatic escape from Romania in 1989.
