The United States of Hoodoo
The documentary examines how African spirituality has influenced popular culture in America. Since their arrival on North America's shores, the old African gods have taken on new forms. Their soul lives on through their turntable mastery, improvisational abilities, and mind-blowing collages, performances, and rituals. The film challenges conventional and stereotypical views on race, religion, and rationality. Through interviews with musicians, writers and artists, healers, gumbo cooks, and Mississippi Blues men, the documentary paints a picture of a culture that has always benefited from a unique blend of ethnic influences to create its cultural richness, attractiveness, and vibrancy.
