The Strongest Man in the World is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Halya Kuchmij and released in 1980.
The film is a portrait of Mike Swistun, a circus performer from Manitoba who was billed as "The Strongest Man in the World" when he toured with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in the 1920s; after an injury ended his career in 1930, he returned to the town of Olha where his work included stints as a folk musician, a designer of Ukrainian Orthodox churches, and a chicken farmer.
The film won the Genie Award for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 2nd Genie Awards in 1981.
