The Lonely Dog is a 15-minute film inspired by Alasdair Russell's story and is intended to generate discussion about what constitutes hazing, why members feel so much pressure to participate, what makes it so difficult to challenge “tradition,” and how to take positive steps to make the new member process an authentic bonding experience. The Gordie Center collaborated with the Forever Forward Project (led by Alasdair's mother and producer of the film, Kathleen Sheridan Russell) to create a discussion guide for the film. The film and discussion guide are available free for schools, families, and communities to use in their hazing prevention efforts.
