Good documentary. My man is of Haitian descent and this video is true to form. It did not have to start with the mention of the slave trade but that is how other 'branches' of Vodun were established, hoodoo is a perfect example. I am waiting for the release of Dimon Honsoun's doc about Vodun. But this doc gives basic info that is factual. Ayibobo!

Very good documentary with footage that is both enlightening and moving. It's great that you were able to convince these people to be filmed, I especially loved the woman on the beach that is taken by Erzuli. She had such a beautiful face.

This is a beautiful example of why we need to preserve the different cultures on this earth.

While I do not claim to know the full practices of voodoo beyond what my grandmother and aunts practiced in Louisiana and Mexico; I can agree this is a nicely filmed documentary showing how other cultures live and practice this religion. The comments here are very enlightening and I appreciate all the knowledge exchanged. I also see that it is practiced differently based on what part of the world you are in. ...

Voodoo is a mix of christianity and many different religions of different african tribes. The core (belief in loa and many rituals) is so old that it is actually used as a baseline for developing religions. Thanks to african religions being so bloody old we can actually watch in real time how belief in magic (which is older than religion) turned into animism, and later personal gods. There are researchers which connect a lot of cave paintings with traditional Hodoun rituals, which would make african believes the oldest known metaphysical system with over 50 THOUSANDS years of unbroken tradition.

I am from a country called BENIN in west Africa. I am an "amateur antropologist". I was born in Europe, raised between Europe, Africa and North America. Unfortunately, African scholars now define themselves through the eyes of Europeans and are now unable to translate their own culture adequately. Vodun, Voodoo or Hoodoo in the Americas is NOT what we have in Africa. By definition Vodun in Benin /Togo/ Ghana is related to the Gbé people (Fon, Goun, Ewe, Mina, Popo). The word is actually two words Vo (our) Adun (Essence force spirit) meaning "our essence", "Our force": US. The particularity of Vodun is that, it defines a clan, a family, a stronghold. It represents the spirit of the clan. Each has its own spirit (Adun). It is the vessel by which the clan relates to the afterworld. In the cosmogology there is only one GOD (suprise!!! monoteism), humans cannot access to god. He is the all powerful and mighty and therefore cannot be represented. No statues, no shrines etc. to the glory of god. It is just an evidence, the existence of god is not questionned just accepted as an evidence. Under god there are spirits (good or bad) they are forces to be reckonned with. Metal is a force, the wind is a force, plague is a force, water, air, thunder etc. Therefore spirits in their own right deamed to be worshiped. Now , the tricky part. What represents a clan is the Vodun of the clan. It is the vessel that will conduct thead of that clan to the afterlife (Very important aspect of a lot of African cultures). Since one is not wise enough, knowledgeable enough to address God (Mahu) One prays to the ancesters in the Afterlife to intercead with the Almighty on their behalf using the vodun as a vessel for that prayer. That is Vodun. NO sacrifices, no blood. Alcohol, food (beans, maize, red palm oil etc.) is offered along with kola nuts for the oracle. Those OTHER forces , spirits, are something man would want to harness as a shortcut to gain what he wants at his own risk and peril. The spirituality in West Africa is based on Duality for equilibrium (good cannot exist without bad), responsability of consequences and praying for those that have past before you. If you are in need of a short cut, you now enter the world of occultism OBO in gbé language, and yes there is a similarity with the word OBEAH. There is a difference between a Vodunon (a vodun priest) and a bokotonon (a OBO highpriest). The first one administers prayers and takes care of the clan temple the latter is the master of occultism that can cast a spell. When slaves were taken to America they could not retain the Vodun as it is linked to the clan. Because of their despair and in order to feel protected they retained OBO: the science of occultism called Juju in Yoruba. Since all spirits are called Vodun and slaves built shrines for those vodun, Voodoo etc. The white man called the whole thing Voodoo. The Jamican Maroon retained the original word Obeah that in Afica with time is probably an evolution of pronouciation OBO. Obeah would probably be the original world that would "O Gbe ha" (The Essence of Life). Hope I did not bore you too much. My french being better than my English, my apologies for my many mistakes.

Haiti was the richest French Colony, with huge gold deposits and expansive sugar production. As soon as the Africans finally freed themselves after three wars with huge French armies, the French threatened to re-invade with British and American help, and ransomed Haiti for almost all the gold the nation had. And so, the first Black Democracy in the world was robbed at gunpoint on its birthday by the first two White Democracies and a Monarchy, and became the poorest nation in the West.

Matt_ Thompkins No, Haitians have lived in Haiti for hundreds of years. The people there now are half slave descendants and half people who were already there. They were there before slavery and they are black and African and have been for years. Do your research. Plus, people from Benin aren't the only ones who practice it. Several Yoruba and Ghanaian people practice it also.

Matt_ Thompkins And also, again, when the Catholic Church ed touched down under the wing of the french, it corrupted the practice. Admittedly, this happened more in Louisiana than haiti though.

Thank you for this documentary very interesting research. Haitian not far from the African practices I'm aware of.

it would have been helpful to have practitioners to explain the theology behind the scenes that were clearly going to shock western viewers but that is not the point of this shock doc -- it is what it is... when the lion hunter tells the story... thanks for the footage anyhow lol

and these people live on the same hemisphere as us? Scary. Send em back!

I'm an atheist, but I think the world would be a very boring homogenised place if there was only one universal religion. I love the fact that there's such huge variety of different mythologies around the world and the way they influence various cultures. I mean in the UK christianity is so intertwined with our culture that you couldn't really remove it, even if you don't actually believe in gods. I wouldn't want to live in a UK without the churches and other amazing architechture it's inspireed. I wish more of the pre christain traditions, such as the Celtic ones, had survived though, as my favourite belief sytems are ones that are closely linked with nature (which Voodoo seems to do also). At least being an atheist, I can't be offended by someone believing in the wrong god.

Nice documentary, good work, well done!

@Jasmindbrooks6971 you can't always have something good without knowing or going through what's bad! True I can never understand what they've gone through but everything happens for a reason but you're absolutely correct - there's NO excuse for putting innocent people through something like that because the French were too lazy to get up and hiring the africans and pay them with money because all they wanted to do was slave innocent people and were too stupid and lazy to get off their asses and help them assist them while having them

i remember my mom's best friend was haitian.they both worKed at the IMF.Her name was eugénie.she would teach me creole.i remember traveling overthere,taking the taptap.one day,eugénie started calling my mother in a state of panic saying that when she would come home from work,she would find a black hat whith a blood soaken feather lying on her bed.she would see apparitions of black birds flying through her aprtment but there were no windows.at the time,she was an activist against the duvalliers and baby doc regime.she hid in our home for a while.one day,she went back to haiti to see family.my mother called me here in france screaming and crying that eugénie's body had been found in a full barrel of water drowned.she had been murdered.i still believe to this day,those apparitions and things she would find were warnings from the baby doc regime,menacing her to stop through voodoo.but what i don't like in this doc is it's very driven by "when the french came,this happened...when the colonies came,this happened".their culture existed whithout us and "voodoo" is our western word and has a negative connotation.i wish we could see docs made by the locals,something less biased.this doesn't really give you an accurate point of view.but still it's a pretty good doc.seeing the places reminds me when i was overthere.the rice and beans whith octopus(my favorite dish),the taptaps whith all the colors,but also the extreme poverty and the resentment in their eyes-we are french so it's pretty understandable-i was just a kid but i could feel it.we didn't understand a thing and still don't.i'm sure eugénie never told us what really went on in her culture because she knew we wouldn't get it.now she's gone and has taken her secrets whith her.

so educational :O

Because there’s two different Voodoo. The white magic and the black magic. Haitians do the black magic which is evil and fatal. It can kill you. That’s why when people want to hurt others in spiritual ways they go to Haitians who know how to do it and in less than a month that person would be dead
