This documentary is my personal voyage into the world of Dominican Vudu, also known as LOS MISTERIOS. It is a journey in the unknown world of the LOAS, or Spirits, guided by the Servidores de Misterios, who introduced me and my camera to their beliefs, their ceremonies, and their work.
I filmed in New York City, The Dominican Republic and Haiti.

A misterio is something inexplicable, a mystery, something that requires faith and belief to approach and observe, something that inevitably defies a scientific and rational explanation.

A misterio is something that cannot and should not be revealed to a voyeuristic audience in search of a thrilling magic spectacle, it’s a serious spiritual happening that cannot be easily recorded by a video camera and a microphone, something one cannot and probably shouldn’t try to dissect and analyze with a western rationale and a cynically charged urge to understand.
