Lorna,

Here a couple of titles that get used quite often & may be of help.

Bahia: Africa In The Americas
Les Maitres Fou
The King Does Not Lie:The Initiation Of A Shango Priest
Yeelen
Sorcerer's Village

You should look at The Human Studies Film Archive, Guide to Ethnographic
Collections. HSFA number is 202 357-3349.

Good Luck

Stephen
