"Using the ritual of an African ethnic group as a backdrop, the movie discusses inequality, racism, violence, and the search for identity in a context of masculinity-building - where homosexuality has no place. 'The Initiates' is sensitive, delicate and great to get to know another culture. At times, the production reminds one of the award-winning 'Moonlight: Under the Moonlight'."
