Hazing- PBS Independent Lens

He was truthful and sincere in his efforts.

The part of the film that got me was the adult son of Kristin High bursting into sobs of grief while his aunt was giving a speech about his mom.

Do watch the film if you have a chance.

I remember the night it happened. I'm in San Francisco. I got word the same night it happened via the greek grapevine.

I never knew one of those girls who died in the ocean had a child. How absolutely horrific. I also choked up when he was crying at the ceremony.

I hope this wakes people up! This show isn’t even about the “gray areas” of hazing- this is straight up stuff that can kill or seriously injure people. It has no place in any law abiding, values promoting organization.

FYI it’s free right now on the PBS app.

Byron Hurt is speaking not too far from me this weekend but I don’t feel well enough to go

To say that I am heartbroken is an understatement.
