Voodoo and the Church in Haiti (1989)

Haiti is a land where Western and African cultures meet, creating a deep religious divide between Christianity and Voodoo. Despite centuries of efforts by the Christian Church to suppress it, Voodoo has thrived in Haiti and remains central to Haitian culture. This film challenges common Hollywood portrayals, showing Voodoo as a belief system rooted in African traditions, carried by enslaved people, and practiced today. From the bustling streets of Port-au-Prince to the peaceful countryside, the film reveals how Haitians seamlessly blend Christian and Voodoo beliefs into their everyday lives, showcasing the true depth and integration of Haitian culture.
