Awesome documentary I found on the 100 yr old Serbian community in Chicago (Began in 1901-02, so even OLDER) It's really great to see how Serbs 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th generation stay true to their roots, culture and family. To this day there are over 30,000 Serbs in the city of Chicago, and much more in the suburbs. The Popovich orchestra, one of the many Serbian Orchestras in Chicago, continued to play until 1994.

I have only met a few Serbs from Chicago, and they were all born in the US, spoke good Serbian, big orthodox christians, etc.
They have Serb basketball and soccer leagues in chicago, a private Serbian school, as well as an annual Serb festival in Chicago, which I'm sure is proof of their strength.

We have 14 churches (2 Monasteries) in the Chicagoland area, and another 5 right across the border in Indiana. Between Wisconsin, Chicago and Indiana there are well over 200K Serbs.
While there are that many churches they're generally empty, and the summer church festivals are not as packed as one would think based on the number of Serbs here. Nonetheless, many American Serbs (3rd gen etc), do stay true to their faith/church. In general, the number of Orthodox Christians in Chicago easily exceeds 1 million.

perhaps words such as enclosure, habitat, squalor would be better suited instead of communities

and that is not a documentary, its a guerrilla-style footage taken at the expense of the author's own safety in serb wilderness.

the only reason serbs congregate is so that they can exchange practical tips on how to conduct a successfull genocide campaign.
