Best known as a pioneer of independent experimental cinema, Maya Deren was also a Vodoun initiate, who took her camera and recorder where few have gone before or since. "The Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti" journeys into the world of the Vodoun religion, communing with the drums and loa rituals, between 1947–1951. The film was edited posthumously by Teiji and Cherel Ito in 1971.
