This documentary explores the rituals of three Vodou cults whose origins stem from Africa. The viewer is introduced to a pantheon of spirits who communicate to their worshipers. The screening will be followed by a discussion led by Haitian folklorists Lucrèce Louisdhon and Louines Louinis. We will also have a pre-show display of rare and antiquated books related to Haiti from the Miami-Dade Public Library Special Collection and archives.
