Facets, 1517 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614, USA, Chicago, IL, USTracing the roots of zombie mythology from Haitian Vodou, Black Zombie is a dense and passionate documentary that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
From its origins in colonial Haiti to its depictions in contemporary Hollywood, Maya Annik Bedward’s film pushes viewers to reconsider their thoughts on iconic films like White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, and The Serpent and the Rainbow, as she examines the way the genre has distorted, sensationalized, and sometimes outright erased Black spiritual traditions, resistance, and liberation in the face of colonial enslavement.YOU CAN READ THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW HERE
