Documentary Film Screening: Hazing

1070 Partners Way,Raleigh NC 27606

21 April, 2023

Description

Weaving his own personal experience with hazing into larger narratives, director Byron Hurt posits the function, politics, and consequences of pledging rituals in the documentary Hazing. Hurt begins his focus on BGLOs (Black Greek Letter Organizations), but expands his scope as he navigates what necessitates these membership practices. Through a series of intimate interviews with victims' families, survivors, and his fellow fraternity brothers, Hurt and his subjects go past the provocative headlines into the dangerous and careless realities of hazing. Hurt will be attending this special NC State screening for a post-film Q&A, along with NC State faculty member and one of Hazing's producers, Natalie Bullock Brown. Runtime: 1 hr, 44 minutes.
