Description
From the flickering screens of Hollywood horror, to the haunted cane fields of colonial Haiti, BLACK ZOMBIE unearths the buried origins of the zombie, reclaiming it as a symbol of survival and spiritual resistance. This documentary is for all walks of life, horror fans or not, as it digs into common misconceptions around one of fiction's most popular tropes and leaves you with a firm grasp on what "zombies" are and represent outside of fiction.
