A fresh documentary taking aim at Greek life and, in particular, Alabama sororities just arrived on streaming.
Rumors and drama have been swirling around Bama Rush for months now, after the documentary’s filming led to broad backlash from the University of Alabama’s slew of sororities. Concerns over how a deep dive into rush, and the process of joining a sorority, might impact Greek life as a whole were rampant, following news of the documentary, and the response is already starting to set in. It’s unlikely that Bama Rush is going to take down Greek life for good, but the film is prompting a reexamination of some of the typical practices. Here’s how you can catch the documentary for yourself, and join in on the conversation.
When is Bama Rush available?
In good news for viewers looking to enjoy the latest Greek life documentary, Bama Rush is already available on streaming. It officially arrived on May 23, and its presence on streaming — rather than a theatrical release — means that anyone with the right subscriptions can tune in whenever they want.
Where to stream Bama Rush
Bama Rush is available to enjoy for anyone with a subscription to Max — formerly HBO Max. The newly rebranded platform is home to a range of stellar content, and Bama Rush is the latest to join the likes of The Last of Us, Succession, and Chernobyl.
Is Bama Rush available on other platforms?
Because it was a joint effort between HBO and Vice Studios, Bama Rush isn’t available on any streaming services outside of HBO’s dedicated streamer. Users without a subscription to Max can sign up for the reasonable monthly cost of $10 (with ads) or $16 (without ads). Alternately, those with an eye on Bama Rush, but no interest in HBO’s other offerings, can simply sign up for a trial period and then cancel their subscription.
How long is Bama Rush?
Bama Rush has a reasonable runtime, when compared to many documentaries, and delivers its story all in one part. Diverting from the trend of multipart documentaries — or docuseries — the rush-oriented documentary is all contained within a single one-hour-and-41-minute-long film.
