My Friend Tony

My Friend Tony (directed by Ana Young, T’25) offers a glimpse into the life of Tony Brown, Professor Emeritus at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy. Tony’s lifelong friendships with more than a thousand former students reflect his vocation—fostering human development through leadership, nurturing values, and meaningful contribution to the world. In the face of serious health challenges, he continues to embody a life of connection, growth, and extraordinary intention.

This documentary was created for a final project for DOCST 105S The Documentary Experience: A Video Approach course through the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University.
