Burning Sands (Netflix Official Trailer, 3.10.17) (Starring Trevor Jackson, Trevante Rhodes)

[Deltron]

Burning Sands takes you on a raw, voyeuristic journey of fraternity pledging through the eyes of one favored pledgee, who is torn between honoring a code of silence or standing up against the intensifying violence of underground hazing. Led by a breakthrough performance by Trevor Jackson, director Gerard McMurray's feature directorial debut brings an emotional honesty to the classic tale of "rites of passage" and the complicated bonds of brotherhood.

Burning Sands, which also stars Alfre Woodard, Steve Harris, Tosin Cole, DeRon Horton and Moonlight's Trevante Rhodes, was written by Christine Berg and Gerard McMurray and produced by Stephanie Allain, Jason Michael Berman, Reginald Hudlin and Mel Jones. Executive produced by Caroline Connor and Common.

Burning Sands will be launching on Netflix on March 10, 2017.

When I went to college I had an open mind about frats and thought the unity angle was cool. But after getting to college and digging deeper I could not do that shyt. Not only do you have to take a beatdown from dudes and then be super cool with them afterward you also got to pay Gs in dues yearly?! I was like na, that's not me. I skipped that shyt and do not regret it at all.
