Looking for Trouble

From 1991 to 1995, Serbian forces kept the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, under a brutal siege that made everyday living there deeply challenging. It was the longest siege in modern-day history, forcing citizens of the city, which had recently hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics, into extreme measures to survive. One of the heroes of that horrific time was a forceful and resourceful American named Fred Cuny, who arranged ingenious water delivery into the city at great personal risk. An engineer and a humanitarian, Cuny, who died in Chechnya in 1995, is profiled in this film by Caroline Cuny, a young filmmaker and his niece.
