Voodoo

This documentary chronicles the experiences of a U.S. Marine Corps sergeant, who was stationed on the small island of La Gonave in 1925. During his time there, the locals named him King Faustin I and chose him as their ruler, reflecting the complex interactions between the occupiers and the native population. After ruling the island for three years, he returned to create this film, which provides insight into the culture and society of the time.

Collectors interested in historical documentaries will find Voodoo compelling due to its unique subject matter and the firsthand perspective of an American occupying force in Haiti. The film stands out for its portrayal of the local customs and the sergeant's relationship with the island's inhabitants, making it a noteworthy piece in the context of early documentary filmmaking.
