Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti (1985)

Documentary film about dance and possession in Haitian voodou that was shot by experimental filmmaker Maya Deren between 1947 and 1954.

“This movie is a must see for anyone even the least bit curious about Voudoun religion or Haitian culture. During the movie you will learn about the various major Gods of the religion, their symbols, and their aspects. Most gripping is the drumming, the dancing, and the authentic footage of human possession taking place. Don’t expect much of a plot, however expect footage and drumming that pretty much carries the entire film like a sublime adventure.” IMBD
