Mounted by the Gods (2003)

Directed by famous Switzerland photographer Alberto Venzago, ‘Mounted by the Gods’ explains that the ‘Voodoo’ culture in Haiti, is neither evil nor good but utilizes forces of nature or some deities… It’s up to the Voodoo priests whether it will be employed for benign or evil aims.

“In 1988, Albert Venzago set out to cross Africa on a Vespa. After miles in the blistering heat, it broke down in a remote village in Benin. There he encountered Mahounon, one of the most influential voodoo priests of West Africa. Abandoning his planned trip, Venzago set out instead on an odyssey through the world of African voodoo, to which he and his camera gained extraordinary access.” documentarystorm
