Benin: The Guardians of the Spirits
In the heart of West Africa, the nation of Benin is a land where ancient traditions and modern life collide. From the bustling, motorcycle-filled streets of Cotonou to the serene, stilted village of Ganvie, the people of Benin are deeply connected to their heritage. Through the lens of voodoo, a powerful and often misunderstood spirituality, the film explores how these communities maintain their identity and protect their natural resources, such as the sacred mangrove swamps, in a rapidly changing world.
