Description

Orisha Suite (w/Alive)

Director: Nicole Brooks

Programmer: Tonya Lee Williams

Synopsis: The Orisha Suite is a celebration of the spirit of enslaved Africans, who were able to preserve some of their culture and ritual practices in the new lands where they were taken to by force.

The film pays homage to the Orishas, and celebrates one of the rich cultural legacies of the Caribbean.
