From 1999-2003 JEMGLO produced a documentary entitled From Refugee to Immigrant: A Story of Three Kosovar Albanian Americans. Broadcast in the US on about 25% of the PBS market as well as internationally on Albanian cable TV channel 21, premiered at the United Nations, and reviewed in The New York Times, the documentary focused on three refugees who had come to the US during the war. With their distinctive personalities sparking a range of reactions, Bekim, Gentian and Plator struggled with the memories of their experiences during the ethnic cleansing of the Albanians by the Serbs, the bare subsistence to which their loved ones back home had been reduced, and their need to integrate into American society.
