Silver Bear winner returns home to Bosnian Roma slum

"Bosnia's best actor lives here," says a brightly coloured cardboard sign hung on a tree, near where the village's asphalt road turns into the muddy path that leads to a Roma slum. Now Nazif Mujic faces being forced to return to his previous job, hunting for scrap metal for just a few euros a day. Earlier this month, Mujic picked up the Silver Bear for best actor at the Berlin Film Festival. His performance in Bosnian director Danis Tanovic's "An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker" was one of the highlights of the festival.
