A small Serbian village has adopted an American hero that has Philadelphia ties.
Documentary producer Melissa Coghlan read a newspaper article that peaked her interest:
"There was this little village in Serbia and they wanted to get a statue of Rocky Balboa because they were having a lot of misfortunes in their village and they thought that having a Rocky statue would bring them hope. I thought that was such a sweet story, it would make a good documentary."
Melissa put together a crew and traveled to Serbia twice to film. She's also filming here in Philadelphia and hopes to have the still untitled film completely edited by early next year.
