"Hazing" with Award-Winning Filmmaker Byron Hurt

The "What's Your Revolution?" Show with Dr. Charles Corprew"

What's Good Revolutionaries? As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month, my dear brother and friend, Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Bryon Hurt joins me to discuss his pivotal and thought-provoking film, "Hazing". Inspired by both historical and contemporary incidents that claimed the lives of promising young people, Hurt explores the nature of hazing, its prominence among groups, teams, and organizations, and especially its influence on both masculine and toxic masculine culture. His revolution, as we say all the time here on the show, was not just for himself. This work was created to save lives, limit trauma, promote healing, and challenge organizations to think critically about how to foster camaraderie and family as people are introduced into a new group. Byron is an American treasure and should be linked with others of his same ilk. Please make sure you go and check out Hazing and his other seminal work, Beyond Beats and Rhymes. You won't be disappointed.
