The senseless violence that happens on America's college campuses all in the name of joining a fraternity or sorority has left an indelible, traumatic mark on the victims of hazing.
Hazing rituals, more often than is discussed, has also lead to deadly outcomes for initiants, snuffing out the bright future these young people may have had. In this episode of Left of Black, host Dr. Mark Anthony Neal is joined by long-time friend and colleague, filmmaker and anti-sexist activist, Byron Hurt. His new film, HAZING, tackles the culture behind the oft-mysterious practice and goes beyond college campuses to look at hazing in other formations, such as the military and even marching bands.
