"A thought provoking and potentially controversial exploration of the role African religion has come to play in the quest for self knowledge and liberation." Greg Tate, Village Voice
Voices of the Gods, produced and directed in 1985 by Al Santana is a 58 min. 16mm film/video that examines the Akan and Yoruba religions, two West African traditions practiced within the United States today. It looks at their cosmologies, their use of music, dance and medicine in various ceremonies and rituals. The film includes contemporary and historical examples of the influences of these religions in secular African-American culture, which in turn influenced mainstream American society, more through culture than religion, and in some ways, even politics.
