On the beautiful Caribbean islands of Trinidad & Tobago there lies a dark, foreboding folklore buried deep in the psyche and history of its people.
Where tales of Black Magic, the Soucouyant, Duenne, La Diablesse and other macabre and mysterious occurrences remain largely hidden to the outside world, but sometimes in the rural areas and even in the city's underground,
there are people on these islands who remain convinced of the existence of
these strange phenomena.
This documentary travels through time to explore how the merging of religious beliefs and myths over continents and generations may have contributed to such a rich powerful island folklore. Blended together with
re-enactments, historical photographs and illustrations, this documentary is a true collector's item for people seeking a deeper understanding of the submerged culture that is part of this complex society.
