‘Burning Sands’ is a rather interesting movie that I’m sure will at the very least have people talking. The film appears to be a compilation of various tactics and instances of hazing that may occur in black fraternities on university campuses. While I am not in fraternity, I did attend a university that had black fraternities. I also gave it heavy consideration to join in my early and later years of undergrad as well. So many of the situations in the film I could at least relate to in some way, even if not directly. What I found most enjoyable about ‘Burning Sands’ were the many different themes that were explored throughout the film.
