Synopsis

"The Pierced Heart & The Machete" is a exploration of two popular annual Voodoo pilgrimages in Haiti where worshippers from all over the world descend on the southwestern town of Ville-Bonheur to bathe in the sacred waterfall where Dantò supposedly resides, and the northern town of Plaine du Nord, where hundreds of enraptured practitioners bathe in a mud pool and make flamboyant sacrifices to Ogun.
