INTRODUCTION
The documentary portrait of Fred Cuny provides an important entry point for a discussion of contradictions, tortuous trade-offs, and dilemmas. Compassion without commitment and accountability was increasingly untenable from Cuny's point of view - a perspective developed by twenty-five years of experience.

These activities can be used in conjunction with your selection of clips from the film or alone.
