Voodoo practitioners in Haiti and West Africa believe their gods speak through human bodies during possession, when a person is said to be "mounted" by a spirit. Swiss photojournalist Alberto Venzago spent ten years following one such story: a child chosen from birth to become a voodoo priest, tracked through ceremonies, initiations, and daily life as he grows into that role. Venzago's background as a stills photographer shapes the film's approach, favoring long, static frames of drumming, dancing, animal sacrifice, and trance states over narration-driven explanation. The camera stays in villages and temple compounds rather than cutting away to outside experts, letting ritual sequences run at length. Produced by Wim Wenders and written by Kit Hopkins, with a score by Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock, the film treats voodoo as a functioning religious system with its own logic rather than as horror-movie shorthand. What it shows is process: how a boy is prepared, over years, to be a vessel for something his community believes is real.
