“Spitting Game: The College Hook-Up Culture” – Documentary

 

Spitting Game: The College Hook Up Culture opens Pandora’s Box and takes a penetrating look into the social lives of students. Hooking Up, described as a drunken, no strings attached sexual encounter has eclipsed traditional dating on college campuses across the nation. Spitting Game is a provocative and ultimately scandalous documentary that challenges the status quo by exposing the risks, reasons, and realities involved. The student-driven narrative leads viewers on an engaging, highly informative, virtual tour of topics that include alcohol abuse, drugs, hooking up, peer pressure, STD’s, unplanned pregnancy, sexual assault, and consent.

Writer-Director-Producer, Denice Ann Evans, spent over three years researching and documenting diverse groups of students. Candid student and expert interviews are punctuated by compelling and sometimes shocking statistics. The college hook up culture is clearly a culture seeped in alcohol, yet often shrouded in silence. This film has the guts to speak frankly about the very serious issues facing our children as they enter into a hyper-sexualized alcohol-culture that is our college campuses today.

Every parent really should see this documentary before they send their child off to college. It should be mandatory viewing for all high school seniors and rising college freshman. The information put forth in this ground-breaking film will open your eyes and pull your head out from the sand. Hidden truths and dark realities are revealed that will change the way you look at campus life forever.

  1. “The campus hook up culture usually elicits bemusement or shock, but rarely is it well understood. Denice Evans’s thoughtful film gets inside the hook up culture, reveals its gender politics, and thus enables us to finally start asking the right questions about the sort of sexual ethics we need to be developing.”

  3. “ I just wanted to let you know that I was extremely pleased with the response from my college students to Spitting Game: The College Hook Up Culture. It was great for discussion and the statistics were very impactful and meaningful to the students. Two of my students were inspired to begin a “Party Girls Talk” discussion/support group after the class ended. I will give you more feedback when I see how their discussions went. You are doing such important work. I can’t wait to see the full feature! ”
