Rites of passage

VICE follows 16-year-old Bo Tyler Vocu, a third-generation Native American bull rider, before he faces some of the strongest competitors in the touring rodeo circuit.

VICE follows the orchestrators behind the Brutal Black Project, the tattoo collective where mandalas go to die and pain is prioritized over aesthetics.

VICE followed a young prospect in Brooklyn looking to join the Crips to see what it takes to get initiated, from finding a way to meet gang members to getting "squared in"—a vicious beating at the hands of the members.
