An interview with a Zombie

"To the Ends of the Earth: Interview with a Zombie" (1997)

This episode of the series effectively highlights the voodoo beliefs in Haiti, which closely resemble the witchcraft practiced throughout Africa. The inspiration for the film arises from a 1989 case in Haiti, where Wilfrid Doricent was alleged to have been murdered and zombified. The fear of zombification is rooted in necromancy associated with witchcraft practices from Nigeria to South Africa as part of rituals and curses. Ron Orders interviews local Christians who educate against witchcraft as well as witchdoctors. This episode is a valuable educational tool for understanding the spirituality behind African witchcraft; in many African countries, most people are taken to a local witchdoctor long before they ever enter a church, as part of traditional customs. Spiritual compatibility, of course, is the least concern for those who import masses from Africa and India into Europe.
