“Unmelted” was the documentary I produced for my final Capstone Project at Keystone College. The film focuses on the Croatian community in Steelton, Pennsylvania— a small community that held on to its identity against all odds.
Croatians have been emigrating from their homeland for centuries. First, poor families searched for work in foreign nations— like the United States— especially during and after the industrial revolution. Croatian immigrants were also expelled from present-day Croatia as political and war refugees, especially when fleeing communist Yugoslavian oppression or stepping away from a war-torn land in the 1990s.
