Burning Sands (2017)
7/10
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men

Warning: Spoilers
Zurich Condoll (Trevor Jackson) aka number 4 is pledging Lambda Fraternity at Frederick Douglas University. The hazing process is all underground since it has been outlawed. It is very physical and humiliating. Zurich has trouble maintaining his studies and the hazing after taking several kicks to the rib on the first night. The hazing also weighs heavily on his personal life, but being a part of group of a-holes is all he wants. Quitters walk home.

There is a message in the film. "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." However when the message is applied to a physical hazing, it leaves much to be desired. Acting wasn't that great. The film is about message which could have been better developed.

Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.
