• Résumé: Footage shot during a three-month field study in the valley and village of Mirebalais, central Haiti. Documentation of Haitian culture includes various subsistence and craft activities (hoeing, planting, marketing, and rope making); a combite or communal work group (known elsewhere in Haiti as the Societe Congo) clearing a field; the heading, "dressing," and consecration of an ensemble of rada drums by a pret savanne (bush priest); sequences from a Vodun ceremony including a rada altar with chromolithographs and the action de grace (preliminary segment) of the ritual; and short sequences of social dance styles, including a banda, Congo, and Martinique, performed for the camera.
