For over 30 years he has created documentaries on community issues that are social, political, and cultural in nature. Mirko has produced programs in special education and motivational documentaries for hemophiliacs, issues in job discrimination and welfare to work for women. Mirko has taken a proactive approach in producing programs for various communities. He specializes in giving a voice to groups who have not been heard. The voices that have been heard through Mirkos documentaries have changed the laws in Illinois for women on aid, altered the way the Chicago Park District hires individuals, and revised the way the Illinois Housing Development Authority allocates funds for public housing. The documentary Through Our Eyes has effectively convinced the Illinois State lawmakers to assist mothers on aid, who are willing to work, by guaranteeing that their children will have health care. Jobs and Justice documents the struggle of a community organization in Chicagos Uptown area fighting against the discriminatory hiring policies of the Chicago Park District. Ultimately, after three long years, the Park District now ensures an equal opportunity hiring policy. Mirko has done extensive work toward advancing the independence and empowerment of people with disabilities. His award winning documentary, Inclusion: A Special Education Dilemma is an hour-long video that presents a roundtable discussion on the issue of bringing children with disabilities into general education classrooms. It is intended to be used to stimulate discussions on this very controversial topic.
