NPR's Ayesha Rascoe talks with filmmaker Rachel Fleit about her new documentary "Bama Rush," which follows four young women who hope to join sororities at the University of Alabama.

I haven't watched the documentary, and I don't know that I have any intention to do so, but it strikes me as odd that this is the opening question and response in this interview:
Quote:
RASCOE: What drew you to sorority rush initially?
FLEIT: All the way back in 2018, during the #MeToo movement, I started to think about what it would be like to be a young woman in a sorority during what we had called the age of consent. I really wanted to explore sorority life because I felt like it was going to be a lightning rod to talk about all of these other things that young women face, like body image and sexual assault and racism, classism - I can go on and on and on. It just felt like it was ripe with fodder.

Based on the commentary and articles I've read since the documentary was released, it doesn't sound like any of these topics were truly explored. But maybe I'm wrong?
