It sounds like a beefed-up Real World episode, only with all-too real and tragic consequences, Haze, a documentary presented by The Gordie Foundation will premiere regionally at SMU Sept. 4. Why am I writing about this so far in advance you might ask … because there are only 50 tickets available to the public. Tickets are free but will not be available for long.
Delving into the issues surrounding the college drinking culture in America, the feature-length film examines the life and death of college freshman Gordie Bailey, whose deadly fraternity initiation ceremony at the University of Colorado gained national media attention in 2004.
Bailey’s parents will be in attendance to address the audience — they say they hope the screening and the documentary "will help prevent further tragedies like Gordie’s death and make college campuses a safer place for youth across the country."
50 tickets are available to the general public and will be given out on a first come, first served basis. To reserve tickets, please call The Gordie Foundation no later than August 29th at 214-823-0235, or email contactus@gordie.org.
