HAZED: Shattered Trust Banner

THE VISION

Thanks to our spring 2023 campaign donors, our new educational film project, HAZED: Shattered Trust, is underway — with the same directing and producing team that created HAZE. The team is creating a short proof-of-concept film to secure funding for the larger project — a series of episodes focused on understanding how hazing practices vary by group type, uncovering the mental health impacts of hazing, and empowering viewers with steps they can take in their own lives to end hazing. These episodes will be easily incorporated into a high school curriculum on hazing, and will complement the HAZE documentary already used in over 875 colleges, universities, and high schools across the country.

This new project will expand upon the themes and messages in HAZE with a much deeper look at hazing and the mental health issues caused by hazing — and go further by providing tools to end hazing. You can help make this project a reality.
