Fascinating that a feeling a pride could be elicited by watching children kidnapped, forced to their knees for a year and otherwise abused. Oh yes, a matter pride that a man has over 40 wives. The Benin culture was at the heart of the slave trade who prayed upon their neighbors who differed only in tribal affiliation. Misplaced pride I dare say.

This film is so beautifully executed!!! Those are one beautiful children!!! I’m so glad voodoo presented itself to me. Love you, papa legba!!!! If my third eye hadn’t opened on its own, I would be so lost.... I love you, oshun!!! Baron Samedi, I love you!!!!! Protect the children, Bawon!!!

The ancients believed in Gods,this was world wide.The similarities between Europe and Africa in this regard is astounding.The druids as well kept no written word,to protect the wisdom it was passed on through story, myth,music, legend and psychic energy.Cards and other games, were derived to help protect the energy contained within.

I love the beauty that is so present in voodoo , especially the art , the dance , etc.

🤘🏿👑👽🤘🏿I love this over and over again 💞 Hotep.

The intensity in this documentary is unmatched

Thank you for this incredible upload. Beautiful.

imagine if black people in America really knew VooDoo

Whoever did this film has well understood the true and valuable mystery of voodoo. An ancient knowledge still misunderstood in modern society. Knowledge that we dont know jet where they came from. And Africans have knew to keep the legacy of our anciens. Congratulations to the productions team, very good job, clean, professional and clear.

I love that I was brought up in a tradition similar to my spiritual cousin's in Vodoun, people think that just because they live in a modern age that it's alright to simply forget everything our ancestors worked so hard to preserve for our sake. I'm thankful for those in the diaspora held on to their ancestor's faith and heritage.

Ghana 🇬🇭, Togo 🇹🇬, Benin 🇧🇯, this countries have one tribe in common. Eve’ or EWE’, Aja, Fon call us what ever you want. But we are the same people, same culture and same religion.

thank you so much for posting this!

The Vodun appeals greatly to me. Love the drums.

Please keep up the good work teaching us through your videos the truth you are teaching people like me who have been lost thank you 🙏🏽

This was very nice to watch. Well done! Thank you

Thank you so much for this. Ashe!

I am honored to have seen this video! I respect the their belief, however I find it it rough for a young boy to be put in that position, its a lot of pressure. As a Haitian and I understand this whole situation, its disturbing! Now I understand the reason why the Benin group made the trip to Haiti, because according to them they had lost the whole vodoou ceremnony rituals and Haiti was the only country that had it ,I hope they found it!

the cinematography of this is Stunning. Beautiful

omg!!! I cried when the elder priest died. Amazing film

I love the story about the shadow being the guide. It's true, you have to trust yourself for guidance, you cannot rely on others to lead your life. My religious beliefs are Hindu even though I consider myself Omnist because I believe all religious paths are ones God would accept because he is more than a book, more than an idea, he is everything and nothing. The universe and ourselves.

That's so true...the Spirit has even made its way to the American mainland where African Americans (at least the ones who know their roots) consult the Oracle and their Ancestors for resolving conflict. Our way has always been one of cosmology and spirituality. Excellent movie!!

Very well done!!

amazing movie great job I wish I could meet him one day

This is culture in it's purest form.

Beautiful Ase

Here's the problem with outsiders telling other peoples' stories. They cast their prejudice on others.. Vodun powers are not "dark." These are powers of life and change, just like your Jehovah giveth and also taketh away. Let Africa tell its own cultures through the people who own those cultures. Expropriation of culture is backward.

Look, guys....they have their religion, you have yours and i don't have one....please, can we all stop the long ass argument of who's god is better and who worships who. Can we just learn to co-exist??? Please, is that too much to ask?

wow so many negative comments about things that have nothing to do with the doc, lot of hateful people spewing hateful comments .... and why

I like it... I got to learn about different culture... 👍

Question: the music that plays from 47:00-48:20, is that an original song made for the soundtrack or a previous recording used for the documentary? Also, I like how the trance movements and music are in sync

Thanks so much for sharing.

Your absolutely right. My mother told me the same thing a while back. Thank you for reminding me.

Peace. I believe it's somethings we dont question. If Spirit wants us to know, we will find out. If it doesnt pertain to our destiny, we dont need to know. Peace.

loved it thank you

they did choose but there not foolish enough to tell an outsider with a camera.

Thank you very much for such of well done documentary, music, video narration and presentation of every character.

Awesome work!!! #Brilliant

Very informative!

This reminds me of me as someone who plans on becoming a future ifa’ priest this reminds me of how my journey is starting

Thank you so Much Need to see My own Culture

simply breathtaking!

Powerful and beautiful

I love it!

Fabulous!

Thank you for this before it all Changed MI Africa MI Africa......

rich and fine record. well done. Thank you for this insight into those close to the earth. We are connected to the ancestors through coded DNA. This is science NOT pseudo-science; refined through countless generations. Mystery school instruction at it's finest.

VOODOO MOUNTED BY THE GODS is a marvelous , excited,educacional documentary. I was transported to the magical world of Voodoo in Benin Africa today.Its wonderful to see the community participation in all the ceremonies,and how the children are active participants of this ancient Religion. How different from the religions of the West,where is not traditional and active participation of children in the ceremonies. Thank God I have an open Mind to value and apreciate the religion of my Ancestors, I enjoyed inmensally this great Documentary,where I sensed the power of the spirits in our mother Africa...and I wonder how sad to see the African American community in The United State without the knowledge of their ancestors and their ancient religion Voodoo. Christianity wiped out from their minds and souls The Gods of Africa....I am so glad to born in the Caribbean where Voodoo is practiced , even with the rejection of the catholic church,specially in Haiti,where Voodoo is the Spiritual strenght of the Haitian People.

Hey I was really enjoying this video but I cut out mid way and no longer available. is there anyway we can get it online again?

poderia me passar o nome desta cidade a onde foi filma do, por favor quem souber sim.

Thanks. For sharing.

subtitles should be added but thanks! nicely done

A documentary directed by famous switzerland photographer Alberto Venzago. He has been shooting for 10 years a child who was chosen to become a voodoo priest. Mighty and sublime film produced by Wim Wenders, written by Kit Hopkins and music by Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock.

I think this was well done. I would have like to have seen subtitles or translations when the individuals were talking.(not within the ceremonies but in general).

I love this documentary. Our mother land Africa.

That particular King has been ruling Dahomey for quite a while.

This is called Black Detox/Discipline!!! I wish i grew up this Way i love it so much...Thanks

I appreciate this video. Even though, these type can lack depth (for the sake of assuming that the audience have little or no knowledge of Voodoo). But, spirituality/spiritual is very necessary. Many cultural groups and religions have ceremonies of ascension and intimate connect with spirit in a group setting. Let the Voodoo practitioners be! Bliss, Light, Power and Protection!!!

gods expression of love is not limited by our fragile and incomplete thoughts, race, religion, time, history. However, it is comforting to know how people have and are finding a way to be somewhat god like. Well, the proof is in the compassion, tolerance, health, care of natural resources,productivity and the care of our young people for their elders.

Wonderful documentary about the old african culture , me .. myself can understand well how impressed Emperor Solomon of Israel must have been as he came thousands of years ago into this land and married two of their princesses to become part of those people and the Land of Africa .

very cool starting to understand Voodoo

I learnt a lot

Where were the subtitles or interpreters? I feel like I'm missing so much. I want to know what they are saying and singing not just the narrator's understanding of it. I don't understand why there's no subtitles. Or maybe I do.

BONJOUR, m'autoriser vous a utiliser certainpasse de votre reportage pour une réalisation d'un clip video j'attend votreréponse.
