The Controversial World of 'Bama Rush' and Southern Sororities.
The crew of the documentary "Bama Rush" hired security during production due to rumors that they were secretly recording conversations during sorority recruitment at the University of Alabama. Director Rachel Fleit denies using secret microphones, but anxiety still crept in after a New York Times article mentioned her by name. The crew feared for their physical safety and a security detail was sent to ensure their safety and that of the subjects. The documentary explores body image, race, class, social media pressures, and the desire to belong through the lens of the Greek system.
